STRUDEL WITH SKUTA
I want to thank my friend Anica for being so kind in showing me how to make this delicious Strudel.
I love the skuta version but you can put any filling in between those lovely layers.
You can also make a sweet & savoury strudel in one pastry dough of strudel.
This is such a easy dish to make with lots of options.
Strudel is also known as Burek in Slovenia.
I have always been fond of an apple pie which is also used as a filling in Strudel. Once I tasted Strudel in Slovenia I was hooked on it. Anica was the one who introduced me to the skuta flavored one. Skuta is curd cheese.
You can make Skuta @ home. You just need to have full cream milk which you bring to a simmer then you add vinegar to it. Leave to cool & drain it.
That's it!

Here you see how skuta looks when it is ready yet it still needs to cool down.
