Ingredients

  • 8 oz/225 g plain flour
  • 2 tsp sugar

Method

Mix the dry ingredients, make a well in the centre, pour in half the water, and work it in with a spoon, adding the remaining water little by little to form a stiff dough.

Roll pieces of dough out very thinly, allow to rest for a few minutes, then cut into 4-inch/10cm rounds. Fry in the hot lard or oil, turning them over to cook on both sides.

Drain, drizzle with clarified honey
