Knead ½ garnetz flour with water into a stiff dough, as for noodles. Work thoroughly, then add ⅛ or ¼ pound unmelted butter and, if desired, a little poppy seed.
Take pieces the size of small wild apples, roll flat to approximately the thickness of a fifty-kopeck coin, place on a sheet and bake until dry and crumbly.
