How this kind of dish is made
The source documents this dish but not a method specific to it. The steps below describe how dishes of this kind are generally made.
Cover the dough and let it rest for about 30 minutes before shaping.
Combine the dry ingredients, then gradually add the listed fat, eggs, or liquids.
Mix only until a uniform dough or batter forms, then shape the pieces.
Bake in a preheated oven or fry according to the listed cooking method until golden.
Cool and finish with powdered sugar, nuts, or syrup as appropriate.
Cook's notes
Do not over-knead the dough or it can become tough. Seal the edges well so the almond filling does not escape during frying or baking.
Background
