Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan-assisted). Line a wire rack with baking paper and set aside. Combine all ingredients except the milk in a bowl. Knead thoroughly by hand. Add the milk in portions and knead thoroughly until a dry, firm dough forms. If the dough is too flaky, add a little more milk and knead. If not, add a little more flour. Shape the dough in portions into thin rolls and shape them into any desired shape, e.g., braids, snails, etc. Place on the rack. Place the rack in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes until golden brown. Tip: Brush with water shortly before the end of the baking time. This will brown the cookies even more. Alternatively, brush with an egg yolk and milk mixture at the beginning. It’s best to store the cookies in a metal tin. But they’re so delicious that you’ll hardly ever get over it… Originally, they were an Easter pastry. However, those days are long gone and cookies are baked every season!
