Greaves “pogachas” are the favourite savoury pastries with wine or beer. They can´t be missing any celebration, feast or gathering. They are known throughout Slovakia and each region has "its" recipe that is the best.
Ingredients:500 g of fine flour
100 ml of sour cream
2 pcs of egg yolks
400 g of greaves
100 g of pork lard
3 spoons of white wine
1 teaspoon of ground black pepper
1 pcs of egg yolks for swabbing
Salt, cumin, sesame, poppy
For the leaven:
¾ of a cube of yeast
200 ml of lukewarm milk
1 teaspoon of granulated sugar
Procedure:
Prepare the leavening from milk, sugar and yeast. Sift the flour into a bowl, make a hole in the middle, add the leaven that has risen, a teaspoon of salt, eggs, wine, cream and knead smooth dough (you can also do it with a beater with kneading brushes). Sprinkle with fine flour and store in a warm place to make it rise (at least 30 min before multiplying its volume). Till the dough rises, grind about 2/3 of the greaves and cut the rest into small pieces.
