Step 4

Add milk and vanilla extract to the dough and mix well with your hands until a ball forms.

~7 min

After chilling, divide the dough into 16 equal-sized small balls.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball into a circle approximately 3.5 inches in diameter. Be sure to use extra flour as the dough is sticky.
