Instructions

Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl.
Gradually add the lukewarm water, kneading until you have a soft dough.
Work in the softened butter and knead for 5 minutes until the dough is smooth.
Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
Divide the dough into 8 balls and roll each one out very thinly into a disc.
Cook the flatbreads in a very hot dry pan for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until lightly golden.
Stack them under a tea towel to keep them soft, and serve with butter.
