  • Preparation: 15 min
  • Cooking: 9 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (117 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: dairy, egg, gluten, honey

Ingredients

  • 45 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 20 g Eggs, whole, raw
  • 10 g Milk, whole
  • 5 g Sugar
  • 12 g Vegetable oil
  • 25 g Honey

Method

  1. Mix the flour, egg, milk and sugar into a smooth, firm dough; rest for 15 minutes.
  2. Roll the dough thin and cut into thin strips or small pea-sized pieces.
  3. Heat the oil in a deep pan to 170 °C (340 °F) and fry the pieces in batches for 1-2 minutes until golden and puffed; only a little oil is actually absorbed. Drain well.
  4. Warm the honey gently in a saucepan until runny, then add the fried dough pieces and toss to coat evenly.
  5. While still warm, press the mixture into a mound or small loaf shape on a plate.
  6. Let cool and set slightly before slicing or breaking into pieces to serve; chak-chak is a festive Tatar treat.
