Original recipe from Slovakia for real škvarkové pagáče. It is a family recipe of the mother of an ice cream maker from Slovakia, a friend of ours selling ice cream in a stand at the Brno dam more than 20 years ago.

Procedure:

Pour a little sugar into lukewarm milk, add crumbled yeast, let the leaven rise, add it to the flour, add oil, salt, make a dough as soft as for a classic pie, let it rise.

Roll out the risen dough on a floured work surface into a pancake about 1 cm thick, then rub it with finely minced cracklings, if they are a little salty, salt them.

Fold the dough as if you were making puff pastry, fold one half over the other, let it rise for 30 minutes, then roll out and fold the dough again, again let it rise for 30 minutes, repeat the process once more, then fold and roll out the dough again, but this time into a 2-3 cm thick pancake.
