PLEŠIVIČKI COPANJEK
Ingredients:
500 g all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon lard
3 tablespoons sour cream
50 ml milk
Salt to taste
Filling:
500 g fresh cheese
3 tablespoons melted butter
2 eggs
Chopped parsley or green onion leaves
Salt to taste
Instructions:
In a bowl, combine the flour, lard, sour cream, milk, and salt. Knead the dough until smooth, then let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
While the dough is resting, prepare the filling. In another bowl, mix the fresh cheese, melted butter, eggs, chopped parsley (or green onion leaves), and salt to taste until well combined.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Grease a baking tray and sprinkle it with some flour.
Divide the rested dough into two portions. Roll out each portion thinly to fit the baking tray.
Spread half of the dough with the cheese filling. Cover with the other half of the dough and seal the edges to prevent the filling from leaking out.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
Serve the copanjek warm or cold, depending on your preference. For a complete experience, enjoy it with a glass of fine white Plešivica wine.
