4

She cooks her pasta in the broth as part of a Sunday night tradition.

5

Anna peels 5 potatoes and puts them into simmering salted water.

11

Buana mixes flour with sour cream, a pinch of salt, and 5 egg yolks to make a soft dough that has to rest for an hour.

12

Buana rolls out the dough on a tea cloth and cuts it into squares, slashing three cuts across the middle of each.

13

She threads one corner through the cuts to create a pastry origami shape.

14

Buana fries the pastries in sunflower oil until they are puffed, golden, and crisp, then dusts them with icing sugar.

Brigita adds fried onions to soaked millet along with tangy cheese and plenty of chives for the filling.
