I represent to Your attention the traditional pastry for the fifth week of lent, which is dedicated to ven. John Climacus*. There's cookies in the shape of stairs made from rye or wheat dough, slightly sweetened and slightly salted, with the addition of a small amount of vegetable oil. Cookies you can shape the flagella, and can be cut with cutter. The number of steps make the 7, 12 or 20. The recipe itself was not, had to think out and idea from the book "the Orthodox meal. From carnival to Easter". Try it ;)
