Ingredients
- 4 cups of flour
- 1 cup of milk
- ¾ of a kilo feta cheese cut into pieces
- 2 eggs
- Salt, oil, pepper
- Water as much needed for a thin gruel
Recipe
We mix all the ingredients together. We put an oiled pan,(no 30), in the oven, in order to get hot, and we empty the thin gruel in. We bake for one hour, at 200 C. Note: if the feta cheese is salty, we can put it in water all night long.
