Instructions

  1. Mix the flour, yeast, salt and soft butter in a large bowl.
  2. Add the lukewarm water and knead until you get a soft dough, then cover and let it rise for 1 hour.
  3. Make the filling by melting the cane sugar with the coconut milk and lemon juice until you get a thick paste.
  4. Divide the dough into small balls and flatten them into discs.
  5. Spoon filling onto each disc, fold the dough into a pouch and flatten again.
  6. Cook the flatbreads in a buttered pan over medium heat, 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden.
  7. Let them cool slightly before serving.

Variations and tips

Oven version. Bake the flatbreads at 190 °C for 15 minutes instead of pan-frying them.
