Cooking Instructions
- 1
In Food processor or in stand up mixer, put flour, salt and sugar and mix.
- 2
Add egg and melted butter and then gradually add water until a ball forms.
- 3
Rest dough for 30 minutes in oil coated bowl and cover it, so the dough doesn't dry.
- 4
In the meanwhile, prepare stuffing: In a bowl mix mozzarella cheese, parsley, mint, salt, pepper and olive oil.
- 5
After the dough had rested dust some flour on a hard surface. Do not use a lot of flour because you want the dough to still stick to each other when forming the crescents.
- 6
Form the dough into a big round circle and using a cover of a Tupperware or anything round that has edges, cut circles through the dough.
- 7
Take the irregular shaped dough out and form a ball, then let it rest for about 15 minutes.
- 8
Now put some stuffing in the circle slightly to one side but keep it away from the edges.
- 9
Then close the dough as if forming a semi circle and then with holding the bottom part and pulling it up with a twisting motion all the way until it closes. You can also use a fork dipped in egg wash to seal the edges, although I don't know how the cheese would hold in there while frying.
- 10
After you finish all the pies and after the leftover dough from the previous circle has rested for 15 minutes, repeat the previous steps.
- 11
Heat fryer to 350 degrees and deep fry pies until light golden brown.

Cheese Flute Cheese Flute
Hello there, I hope things are good with everyone. Ok, well I have been busy painting the house, and I have to admit I am doing a pretty good job. Since, everything, well mostly everything here in Holland are written in Dutch, (I am taking Dutch lessons) I was not sure if the paints I bought were the right ones if you know what I mean. Living in a another country with a completely different language is challenging enough, let alone buying paints, brushes, etc. I had to use google translate, just to be sure. I don’t know if anyone else uses google translate, but sometimes the translation from Dutch to English or Greek for that matter has me on the floor laughing.Your probably wondering were there no sales people at the stores? there were, some do speak and understand English and others don’t, and of course I would find the sales person who’s English was ahhhh so and so. The Sales person was helpful in her own way, I can’t complain…we were basically pointing at the paints, walls, and brushes, she was shaking her head letting me know that what I was pointing at is correct, so it worked out well.Since, we are having a bit of heatwave here this week, I decided to make these 2 cheese flutes, because they bake quickly and not too much work involved, I can’t have the oven working too long. No air conditioning, just a fan which just blows back hot air uhhhhh.
