These no-yeast feta pagáče, small Slovak savory biscuits, use a dough made with equal amounts of butter, feta, and all-purpose flour. Mix the ingredients into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about an hour. Then roll the dough out about 1 cm thick, cut into rounds, brush with egg yolk, and sprinkle with sesame seeds before baking at 180°C (350°F). Even a beginner can make them, and they are perfect with wine or for a party.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Combine all the ingredients except the sesame seeds and egg yolk in a bowl. Work thoroughly into a dough and shape into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about an hour.
Roll out the chilled dough on a floured work surface to about 1 cm thick.
Use a glass or cup to cut out rounds and transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake the biscuits in an oven preheated to 180°C (350°F) for about 20 minutes, until golden.

Tip: Work the dough quickly so the warmth of your hands does not melt the butter; this will keep the biscuits tender. Do not add salt, as the feta provides enough saltiness.
