You can also make this in a mixer. Just be very carful not to over-work it. Stop the machine as soon as the mixture comes together.
Wrap in cling film and leave to rest at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
Cut in half and roll into a rectangle roughly 1/2 cm thick. Do not use any extra flour. The dough should not need it.
Cut into strips roughly 1/2 cm thick and roll them out with your hands until 3-4 times the length.
