Ingredients

Method :

• Sift the flour into a mixing bowl, then pour in the boiling water very gently, stirring as your pour.

• Mix with the oil and knead the mixture into a firm dough, then cover with a damp cloth and let stand for approx. 30 - 45minutes.

• Lightly dust a flat surface with flour and knead the dough for approx. 5 - 10 minutes, or until smooth, then divide into three equal portions.

• Roll out each portion into a long 'sausage', cut each into 8 - 10 pieces and roll each into ball.

• Using the palm of your hand, press each piece into a flat pancake.

• With a rolling pin, gently roll each into a 15 cm circle.

• Dry heat a flat frying pan until hot, then reduce the heat to low and place the pancakes, one at a time, in the pan. Remove the pancakes when small brown spots appear on the underside.

• Keep under a damp cloth until all the pancakes are cooked.

• Serve with some honey on the side.
