Step cooking

1. In a deep bowl, beat a chicken egg (1 pc.).

8. Pour another two servings of flour into a bowl, add the next portion only after obtaining a homogeneous mass.
   
9. Put the chopped walnut kernels (70-100 g) into the mass, knead the dough until the pieces of nuts are distributed throughout the composition.
   
10. Lubricate the baking sheet with vegetable oil (20 ml) using a cooking brush so that parchment paper does not move when laying out the items. In order not to wash the baking sheet after baking, instead of lubricating it with vegetable oil, you can simply moisten the surface of the baking sheet with water a little. So parchment will not move either.
