Ingredients

Scale
  • 7 oz (200 g) pork crisps (cvarci) + 3.5 oz (100 g) all purpose flour
  • 17.6 oz (500 g) all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt

  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 envelope dry yeast
  • 1 cup (250 ml) milk, lukewarm
  • 2.1 oz (60 g) butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Finely grind cvarci and combine them with 100 g of flour.
  2. Combine lukewarm milk with yeast. Combine 500 g of flour with softened butter, egg yolks, salt and pepper. Add yeast with milk and knead until you form smooth dough. Let stand in warm place, covered, for about 30 minutes.

Using a round cookie cutter, cut out scones and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each with egg wash and using a knife, make a net pattern on their surface.
