Dough
- 100g Plain flour
- 20g Lard or Butter
- 50ml Water
- ½ teaspoon Salt
Filling
- 60g Pecorino cheese, chopped into little cubes
- ½ Zest of a lemon

Instructions
For The Dough
- In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, water, and lard/butter. Add more water if the dough is too dry. Knead for 5 minutes, cover and set aside for 20 mins.
- Roll out the dough until it's 4mm thick and cut into 6 circular wrappers (using a cutter or glass - around 2.5 inches in diameter).
For The Dumpling
- Place several cubes of cheese and a pinch of lemon zest into the centre a wrapper. Place another wrapper directly on top and seal with a fork. Repeat for this step for the other 2 Seadas.
Cooking
- Heat up the oil in a frying pan. Use a chopstick to check if the oil is ready. Place the end of the chopstick into the pan, if bubbles begin to form around the chopstick, the oil is ready!
- Place the dumplings in the pan and fry on medium to low heat for 3 minutes on each side or until golden.
- Remove and place on a paper towel to remove any excess oil.
Serving
- Place the Seadas on a serving dish.
- Drizzle over the Seadas with warm honey and enjoy!
