Bougatsa

Once upon a time, in a small village in Greece, there was a mischievous little girl named Maria. Maria loved adventure and trying new things. One day, she stumbled upon a secret recipe for a delicious dessert called bougatsa.

Maria was determined to make the best bougatsa in the village, but she needed some special ingredients. She set off on a wild and crazy adventure to find them. She hopped on her trusty goat and rode through the forest, over the hills, and across the streams.

As she was collecting the ingredients, she encountered a group of mischievous fairies who wanted to help her. But their idea of "helping" was quite different from Maria's. They kept adding strange ingredients like blueberries and peanut butter, but Maria insisted on sticking to the original recipe.

Finally, after much trial and error, Maria had all the ingredients she needed. She carefully followed the recipe and created the most delicious bougatsa the village had ever tasted. The fairies were amazed at how good it was and begged Maria for the recipe.

From that day on, Maria became famous in the village for her bougatsa recipe. The villagers would often come to her house just to smell the sweet aroma of the dessert baking in the oven. And as for the fairies, they learned that sometimes it's best to stick to the tried and true recipes, but it's always good to try new things.

1. Break 2 eggs. It's ok to make some mess.

Slowly start stirring in flour. Start with a cup, and stir a little more at a time until you get a runny batter but not as thin as milk – don’t stress about this step, you can always adjust as you go!

Preheat a 10" non-stick pan over medium heat and rub with oil (I pour some in a little cup and dip a paper towel in, then run it around the pan before making each blin)
