In a bowl sift the flour. Add the sugar, salt and mix. Put the butter and gently with your fingers RUB the flour with butter to make crumbs.

Stir in the milk and with a spatula stir. Get a larger baby.

Squeeze the dough with your hands and shape of the ball. Wrap in cling film and put the dough in the fridge for half an hour.

Preheat the oven to 170 degrees. On the tray lay baking paper or a silicone Mat. Roll out the dough to a thickness of 3 mm. at First the dough will be crumbly, but after a few rollings will become quite strong and flexible.

Cut off uneven edges and cut the dough into strips of equal thickness (ideally 3 mm). Better to cut a large wide knife or round pizza cutter (very easy to do this with a ruler).

Gently lay the sticks on the baking tray (they are quite sturdy and easily transferred). And put in the oven on middle level for about 15 minutes. At this time, prepare glazing and decorating pocky.

Remove the sticks from the pan and leave to cool a little. Take a tall narrow glass with thick walls. Melt the chocolate, stir and tilt it on its side so that the mass of glass on the wall almost to the edge. Take a stick, attach to the wall of chocolate and roll. Stick covered with a thick layer of chocolate. Gently tap the cookie on the Cup, and slide edge, which put a freeze, on the edge of the glass is needed to remove excess and give pocky to drown in a puddle of chocolate.

We can stick the roll in different delicacies and prettiness and lay out on the paper/Mat to harden. I have this number turned out 37 sticks and a bit of chocolate left. It may turn out and 50. ;) For decoration pokki can be used not only spreading, but also make beautiful strips of chocolate of a different color with a cooking bag.

Now you need to give chocolate to harden (I left the sticks at room temperature for a couple of hours). And then to pour the tea and to include a favorite anime. Or pack them and give to a friend. And you can take on a picnic or on a trip. Crunching pocky pleasure, both alone and in company. Itadakimasu!
