Ingredients

• 0.75 1 cup Water
• 3 cup All-Purpose Flour
• 5.5 1 oz Pecorino Romano
• 1 piece Egg white beaten
• 0.25 cup Oil, olive, salad or cooking
• 1 dash Salt, table

Instructions

• Into a bowl, combine salt and flour.
• Add ¼ cup oil and the egg into the mixture. Use a spatula to stir the mixture gradually and to form soft dough.
• Knead in bowl until the mixture is elastic and smooth. Cover the bowl using some wrapping plastic and set aside for at least 20 minutes.
• Cut dough into 4 equal pieces. Use plastic to cover 3 pieces.
• Roll out the remaining piece on the work surface and cut into 10 equal pieces.
• Now roll out individual pieces to form 5-inch rope.
• Dip your fingers in oil and use them to flatten the rope to 1-inch wide ribbon.
• Roll the ribbon slowly to form a coil.
• Now flatten the coil to form a 3-inch diameter round.
• Cover the flattened coil with plastic wrap.
• Repeat the process with the remaining dough. Make sure you cover the rounds with plastic wrap to prevent drying out.
• Add enough oil into a saucepan to reach a depth of ½ inch.
• Heat the oil to about 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Fry dough rounds until they are golden brown. Then transfer them to paper towels to drain excess oil.
• Sprinkle the pancakes with cheese and serve immediately.
