4. Do not knead the dough. Just combine lightly to form a soft dough
5. Let it rest for 30 min. Covered with damp cloth

Nonetheless they taste great. Perhaps I should go with 1 1/2 egg?

Glad you tried my recipe. Sometimes you'll need to add a bit more fat and egg if you find the dough too dry to handle. But do it sparingly, I would prefer to add the fat first.
