  1. 1

    Mix flour and salt. Make a hole in flour and mix in water, making a dough. Knead for five minutes, cover with wet cloth and refrigerate for an hour.

  2. 2

    Heat a flat pan (non stick pans are not good for this as repeated use at high heats with no liquid tends to crack the Teflon) until smoking hot.

  3. 3

    Roll out 1/2 a handful of dough into a flat round shape (3mm thick) and put into pan, cooking for 1 minute either side.

  4. 4

    Once turned press gently with a towel, until brown. Repeat and serve!
