Knead dough from all the components until it is similar to that one for pierogi (dumplings). Beat it with a rolling-pin so it blisters and leave for 30 minutes. Roll Out dough very thinly. Cut into stripes (app. 10-12 cm long and 2-3 cm wide). Cut a small slit in the middle of each stripe, pass one of its sides through it and afterwards pull it through (shape like a twisted ribbon). Now is time for frying, both sides, until colour will be golden.
