Expert Tips
- You can also use mozzarella or pot cheese instead of feta cheese in the dessert.
- If the consistency of the dough is soft, you can add flour a little at a time.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes to get the right consistency.
- When you start cooking the dough, do not open the lid of the pot. After 10 minutes, you can check whether the dessert is cooked or not.
- Transfer the cooked desserts from the pot to another bowl and refrigerate. Do not use a spoon or fork when removing the desserts. Otherwise, the dough will start to break apart.
