Saratele din 3 ingrediente – cu mascarpone

Snacks snacks and more snacks.
Easy and tasty recipe from Savori urbane saratele 
 
300 g flour, 250 g mascarpone, 200 g butter with min. 80% fat
Optional: ½ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon cumin powder, 1 egg yolk for greasing
 

Mix the butter with the mixer or rub it well with a wooden spoon, add the mascarpone and after it has homogenized, add the flour. You can add the salt and cumin before with the flour because it homogenizes better.
The dough obtained in this way (which is quite sticky) is placed in a transparent film and chilled for an hour in the refrigerator or 15-20 minutes in the freezer
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a floured surface. Roll it out with the rolling pin so that it has a thickness of 3-4 mm.
The dough sheet is cut in the form of long and narrow sticks.
If you wish, it can be smeared with a beaten egg and sprinkled with cumin or poppy seeds.
Bake the sticks for 20 minutes at 180°C (preheated oven, medium to high setting for gas ones). They must be golden. Check if they are cooked and if necessary leave them for another 2-3 minutes.
