Best 2 Mlinci North Croatian Pasta Recipes

MLINCI (NORTH CROATIAN PASTA)

Steps:

• Make dough out of flour, egg, lard salt and some water. Leave it to rest not less than 30 minutes.
• Divide the dough into 8-10 little balls. Make thin surface out of each ball and put them into oven to dry (not more than 100°C).
• They must be dry and light yellow on both sides.
• Before cooking, crush mlinci into small parts (10 cm) and put them into salt boiling water.
• They should become soft very quickly, and when so, remove them with hollow spoon and put into hot poultry fat (from duck or turkey or chicken).
• Now fry them until all water evaporates and fat cover the pasta. Serve hot with roasted duck, turkey or chicken.

MLINCI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• Place 2 cups flour into a large bowl. Add egg and mix. Gradually add water and mix until a dough is formed. The dough should not be sticky at this point. If it is, add slightly more flour.
• Knead on a lightly floured surface, dusting with flour as required, until no stickiness is felt. Let stand for about 1 hour. This makes the dough easier to roll out.
• Roll out using a rolling pin until dough is equivalent to the thickness of a lasagna noodle. Cut dough into a rectangle that would fit on the prepared cookie sheet; transfer to the sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pasta has dried and turned a light tan color, 7 to 10 minutes, turning halfway through. Remove from the oven; don't worry if there are some darker patches. Remove from parchment and leave to cool. Take the large sheets and break into pieces randomly that are the size of a deck of cards approximately.
• To use, bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Remove from heat; add mlinci and garlic. Soak until pasta is tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain.
