Instructions

For the dough
Sift the flour and sugar into a bowl, add the butter and mix well until the mixutre resembles the texture of wet sand. Slowly add water and knead for 4-5 minutes, until it becomes a soft dough.

For the filling
In a bowl, place feta cheese and crush with a fork. Add the yogurt and egg and beat until creamy. Then add butter, cinnamon, cloves, lemon juice and mint. Mix well and refrigerate.

Assembly
Sprinkle a flat, clean surface with some flour and roll out the dough into a very thin sheet. Create 16 to 20 circles out of the sheet (8 cm diameter). Place 1 tbsp of filling on one half of each circle. Brush the edges of the circle with some water. Fold the circles in half to seal in the filling.

Heat sunflower oil in a low pot. Place the turnovers in carefully one at a time. Fry for 2-3 minutes, until browned.

Remove the turnovers from the pan onto a plate lined with paper towel to absorb any excess oil.

For serving
Place the turnovers on a platter, sprinkle with icing sugar and drizzle with warm honey. Serve warm.
