MLINCI (NORTH CROATIAN PASTA)

Mlinci (North Croatian Pasta) image

This is traditional North Croatian pasta, popular only in Zagreb and Zagorje region (north of Zagreb). We eat this for Christmas, Halloween, Easter, St. Martin's day and every time we roast poultry. I recommend using lard, because dough will be much better.
