Method · 50 min
- Dissolve the yeast in 200 ml of warmed milk along with 1 tsp. sugar and 3 tbsp. flour. Mix well and let it double in size for about 20 minutes.
- In a large bowl, sift the flour together with the salt.
- In another bowl, pour the yogurt, adding the baking soda and whisking until foamy. Add the egg, water and oil. Stir until smooth.
- Sift the flour and add it gradually, stirring gently with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.
- Sprinkle the counter with flour and pour the mixture from the bowl. Knead until you get a soft dough.
- Grease a deep bowl and transfer the finished dough ball into it. Let it rise for 1 hour in a warm place, covered with cling film.
- Heat more oil in a deep frying pan.
- Divide the finished dough into balls for our mekitsi. Brush each one with oil and gently stretch with your hands so that they don't break.
- We fry grandma's mekitsi until golden. You get the fluffiest mekitsi, just like grandma's!
- Grandma's fluffy cookies can be eaten with powdered sugar, jam, chocolate, or cheese.
