Shape the kopytka<\/strong><br>Divide the dough into portions and shape into rolls about 2 cm thick.<br>Flatten them slightly and cut them into oblique pieces of about 3 cm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3.
