Cooking instructions
Procedure
For the dough, mix the two kinds of flour, and season the mixture with a pinch of salt.
Procedure
Boil up milk and butter, then pour it over the flour and knead it quickly.
Procedure
For the stuffing, chop the onion and brown it in butter. Add the chopped bacon, the smoked meat, and the boiled and chopped potatoes. Season with salt, pepper, marjoram, and parsley, and let it cool down a little.
Procedure
Roll the dough into one 4 cm thick piece. Cut it into 2 cm thick slices, and roll into a circle with a rolling pin. Overlay one half of each dough circle with a medium amount of the filling and put the other half over it. Press the edges firmly together.
