Sweets should be with a great smell, taste and appearance. How else would someone like them? Here is a very delicious recipe to treat your guests (and, of course, to help yourselves) after the end of the Lent. Kaltsounia or lichnarakia are usually made in Crete during Easter and are very important for the Easter dinner or lunch.

So, Enjoy!

About 1 kilo of flour
