📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Zatirka is a simple dish from the Belarusian countryside: flour is rubbed by hand with egg or water into small crumbs, which are simmered in milk. Once a meal for hard times, it's now made for breakfast or children's meals as a nostalgic taste of home, eaten salty or sweetened with sugar.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a farm morning in Belarus, little flour crumbs float in milk soup warmed on the kitchen stove and are scooped up with a wooden spoon.
