Method

Sift the flour, make a well in the centre and add the eggs and sugar. Gradually draw in the flour to make a smooth dough, similar to pasta dough. Roll it out to 3 mm (⅛ inch) thick and cut out 16 circles about 12.5 cm (5 inches) in diameter.

Divide the pecorino cheese between half the pastry circles. Brush the edges of the pastry with water and cover with the remaining pieces of pastry,
