Cut the onion into small cubes, put it to the stuffing
.
Continue to fry the stuffing on low heat for 10 minutes.
At this time you can separate the yolks from the proteins. Integrate the yolks into 400 grams of flour, sprinkle with a spoonful of salt, knead an elastic dough. Under a film, keep the colobok warm for half an hour.
In a saucepan, melt butter, add the rest of the flour, create lumps of ingredients. Pour the milk into the saucepan, cook over low heat until thickened. Do not forget to salt the mass and add your favorite spices.
Divide the dough into 4 parts, roll out into layers equal to the size of the baking dish. Shred the cheese with a medium grater
