How to prepare

Preparing the dough for the turnovers is very simple. Mix the flour with water and knead thoroughly until a tougher, easily formable, supple dough is obtained. Let it rest for about 30 minutes protected from going stale by a polyethylene sack.

Create the filling by mixing all of its ingredient together and let it stand for a while. A Nomina porridge will help you thicken the filling a bit. You can use any of the porridges. Rice has the finest taste.

Roll the dough flat (ca. 2 mm) and use a mould or glass edge to form circles about 6-7 cm in diameter. Those are going to be easy to work with. Smear whipped egg on the circle edges (0.5 cm is enough) and add an adequate amount of the curd cheese filling. Fold the circles in half and carefully but thoroughly press the edges together (creating a turnover). A knife handle may help. Cook the turnovers in slightly salted boiling water for about 10 minutes. Serve with cinnamon, powdered sugar and melted butter poured on top. You can also cook a fruit sauce using fresh or frozen fruit (e.g. strawberries, raspberries,…), sugar and some corn starch. You will then pour the sauce on top of the turnovers. 

Our tip: You can prepare the turnovers in advance and carefully store them in the fridge protected from drying out. Cook by submerging them into boiling water while still frozen.
