  • The next day, shape the dough into 3 portions and form 3 sticks in flour. Place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper! Then cut with a pair of scissors at a distance of approx. 3-4 cm so that they are still hanging on each other on the underside, see pictures. Immediately after the cut, place the cut pieces alternately to the right and left. So that an ear shape is created!
