Persistence pays off my fellow readers, here I was thinking I would have to skip a letter and hope no one notices, when I found this gem of a recipe that combines the elements of eastern and western European cuisine in one sweet little biscuit, with the cheese a eastern influence and the Powidl a more central European angle all combined by my ever resourceful ancestors, who took every opportunity to extract something out of whoever was the occupier at the time Turk, Venetian , Austrian the list goes on, anyway just one more blog after this one and we find out what the hell is the photo of Elvis and Nixon all about!!!!
DŽEPIĆI OD TIJESTA SA SIROM ( Cheese and Pastry pockets )
500G plain flour
40g butter
500g plain cottage cheese
1 egg yolk for brushing
1 tablespoon baking powder
powidl plum conserve find it most good delis( been dying to say that )
salt
Add the baking powder to the flour and mix well, knead in butter with fingers, add cheese by " crumbing" into the mix and work quickly to combine, once combined roll out on a floured bench till its the thickness of say a chefs knife cut into squares however large you like, smear some of the plum mix in the centre of each square fold corners into the centre and wash with egg yolk, place in hot oven until golden brown and enjoy with a fine herbal tea maybe a sipak ( rose hip )
