Method 7 steps

  1. Mix the kefir with the bicarbonate and leave it five minutes; the mixture foams.

  2. Add the egg, sugar, salt and melted butter and stir until even.

  3. Work in the flour a little at a time and knead a soft dough that stays slightly tacky.

  4. Cover it with a cloth and rest it half an hour at room temperature.

  5. Divide it into seven balls and roll each into a thin twenty-centimetre round.

  6. Prick each round in several places with a fork so it does not balloon in one bubble.

  7. Fry them in hot oil a minute a side, to golden spots, and drain them on paper.
