Step 1
1. Break the raw eggs into a bowl and beat them well (using a whisk). Now add milk (if there's no milk, it can easily be replaced with water), oil, salt, and sugar. Beat everything with a whisk until bubbles form. Then add the flour and knead the dough.

2. The dough should turn out very tender, tasty, and soft. Since we've added butter, it shouldn't stick to the rolling pin or your hands when rolling out. This dough requires only a small amount of flour.

4. Carefully make cuts in the center of each resulting diamond. Then take each diamond in your hands one by one, push one edge through the slit, and return the edge to its original position. Swirls will appear on the side diamonds. Repeat this procedure several times. Do this very carefully.
