1. 1

   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.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   Fold in the 4 sides to form a square approximately 3-4 inches in size. Cook briefly in a well buttered skillet on both sides until lightly browned.

4. 4

   Served with honey or sugar these are a wonderful breakfast or snack. If stuffing, these are always stuffed thinly, not as bulging pockets.

5. 5

   The number of servings is an approximation and has to be as no 2 people make them into the exact same sized pieces. Cooking time is for cooking an entire batch.
