Ingredients

  • 500 gr cleaned pork fat
  • 500 ml milk
  • 1 kg flour
  • 1/3 teaspoon salt
  • some sugar
  • 2-3 egg, depending on size
  • one squeezed lemon juice
  • powder sugar to dust
  • 1 bag vanilla sugar
  • First you need to prepare the fat and set the oven at 200°C. Clean the fat from fibers and grind it on the meat machine.
  • You should then mix it until it's foamy, which will help you remove the rest of the fibers.
  • Ground and mixed like this, you can use the fat to coat the dough.
  • Put yeast in warm milk, add some sugar and salt and squeeze one lemon. Leave it on the side until yeast grows.
  • Once yeast grows, add eggs in milk and yeast and stir it all together.
  • Add flour and knead the dough... Add a spoonful of fat into the dough and combine it all well so that you get a compact lump.
  • The dough shouldn't be too soft or too stiff. Once you've knead the dough, leave it on the side to rest and grow.
  • After the dough grows, use rolling pin and spread the dough until it's 1 cm thick.
  • Coat the dough with fat and close it like a book, leaving it to rest for 10 more minutes. Spread it again, coat and cover like a book, leaving it for 10 mins. And then, the final spreading.
  • After we've completed the spreading part, cut it into straps 8-10 cm long, and then cut those into cubes.
  • Fill the dough (dough straps cut into cubes) with apricot jam, or some proper substitute.
  • Roll or cover every part of dough after it's been filled with jam, leaving jam on the inside.
  • Place salasnjaci on the baking paper and put it on tinplate. Leave it in the oven to bake at 200°C for 20-30 mins.
  • Once they're baked, take them out and dust with a mixture of powder and vanilla sugar. Serve while warm.
