1

Pour 240 grams of all-purpose flour into a bowl.

2

Add a quarter to half a teaspoon of salt to the flour.

Crack 1 egg into the flour and pour in 1 cup of water.

Scoop the flour over the water to form a sticky dough.

5

Slowly mix in more flour until the dough no longer sticks to your hands.

Let the dough rest to become stretchier.

7

Add bacon to a relatively cold pan and cook on medium-low heat.

8

Once the bacon starts to cook, add chopped onion (consider adding an extra onion).

9

Sauté the bacon and onions together until the bacon browns and the onions caramelize.

10

Add 1 to 2 cups of milk to deglaze the pan and combine flavors.

11

Add sour cream to thicken the sauce and reduce heat.

12

Divide the dough into four balls and roll each out to about 1-3 millimeters thick.

13

Cut the rolled dough into triangles or rhombuses.

14

Boil water and drop the cut dough into the boiling water.

15

Cook the dough for 5-7 minutes until they float.

16

Remove the cooked dough and let them drain in a basket.

17

Add sour cream to the sauce and stir until thickened.

18

Serve the Skryliai on a plate, spoon sauce over it, and toss to coat.
