(Umak Corbasi)

4 cups water with 1 tsp salt
1/2 cup flour + 1 tbsp flour
1 egg
1 cup milk
2 tbsp dry mint
2 tbsp butter

Sauce:
1-2 garlic clove, smashed with salt
3-4 tablespoonful yogurt

Place the flour on a flat and large plate and break the egg in it (picture). Make little dough pieces with your fingers (picture). Sprinkle 1 tbsp flour all over the dough pieces.

Meanwhile, bring the water with salt to boil in a medium sized cooking pot. Then slowly add in the little dough pieces and stir. Cook for about 10 minutes over medium-low heat. Add in the milk and butter, then turn the heat down and cook for another 10 minutes. Turn the heat off.

Mix smashed garlic with yogurt with a spoon in a small bowl. Take a few spoons of soup and add in the sauce, and whisk. Pour this mixture slowly back into the soup. Sprinkle dry mint all over and stir. Serve while still warm.
