Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the flour and salt, then add the oil and rub between your fingers to form a coarse sand-like texture.
- Gradually pour in the warm water and knead until you have a smooth, elastic dough.
- Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 4 portions and roll each into a very thin disc, about 2 mm thick.
- Heat the frying oil in a pan over medium-high heat and fry the discs for about 2 minutes per side, until golden.
- Drain on kitchen paper and serve warm.
Variations and tips
Oven version. Brush the discs with a little oil and bake them on a tray at 200 °C for 12 minutes for a less greasy version.
