Greek name - description

Trin-square, small sheets of pasta. Galotrin is twin cooked in milk.

Ingredients

1 kg of village flour
1 tsp salt
water for kneading
Milk

Method

Sift the flour with the salt. Add lukewarm water, a little at a time, and knead to make a dough. Cover it and leave it aside for a while. Roll out a thin, large-sized sheet of dough using a rolling pin and sprinkle it with plenty of flour. Wrap it in the rolling pin and cut it lengthwise with a sharp knife. This way the rolled sheet will be rolled out in several layers, where one is on top of the other. Cut them vertically into thin strips. When the thin strips are somewhat dry cook them in milk, so you will have galotrin. (MANRE 2006, 19)

Cooking method

Boiling.

Comments

Sugar, cinnamon and resetter may be added. (Eleni Christou)
