Ingredients List
- 1 1/2 c Fresh mizithra or ricotta
- 2 tb Grated hard ricotta
- 2 Eggs; separated
- 1/2 c Granulated sugar
- 2 tb Butter; melted
- 4 tb Milk (or more)
- 2 c All-purpose flour
- 1 pn Salt
- 1 ts Vanilla extract
- Confectioners' sugar
Directions
For the filling, combine the cheeses, lightly beaten egg yolks, sugar, 1/2
teaspoon cinnamon, and melted butter in a bowl. The mixture should be thick
enough to mound, but not stiff; add 1 tablespoon milk, if necessary. Set
aside while you make the dough.
Sift the flour and salt into a bowl, then cut in the butter and mix by
rubbing between your fingers. Mix in the vanilla, egg whites, and enough
milk to make a soft dough. Knead until smooth and elastic, then break off
small pieces and roll as thin of a dime. (The dough will be elastic and
can be rolled easily.) Cut into circles 4-inches in diameter (teacup
size), then on each circle place a teaspoon of the cheese filling. Wet the
circle edge with water or milk and fold over to form a half-moon, then seal
with the tines of a fork or pastry wheel. Arrange the Kaltisounia on
buttered cookie sheets and bake in a moderate oven (350 F) for 25 minutes,
or until the pastry puffs up and turns a light chestnut color. Remove from
the oven, and place on racks, and dust with confectioners' sugar and
cinnamon. Serve hot or cold.
