Directions:

  1. METHOD:
  2. Make a well in the center of the flour, place the salt in the well and add the water small amounts at a time. Knead well to form a very smooth dough. Using well oiled hands, make balls the size of a tangerine and place them on an oiled surface. (counter top, table, marble block etc.)
  3. **Be careful NOT to overwork the dough by over-kneading it.
  4. Also let the dough rest for 15-20 minutes after kneading, cover it with a damp cloth or towel.
  5. Spread out the balls one by one with the palm of your oiled hand stretching the dough gently in all directions until it is very thin. Fold in the 4 sides to form a square approximately 3-4 inches in size.
  6. Cook briefly in a well buttered skillet on both sides until lightly browned.
  7. Served with honey or sugar, these are a wonderful breakfast or snack.
  8. You can also stuff them lightly before folding with sweet mixtures such as ground almonds and sugar or with onions, parsley, and spices; meat can be added as well.
