Method
- 1
Mix the flour, salt, sugar and water into a soft dough and knead until it is smooth and elastic.
- 2
Divide into six balls and rest them covered until relaxed enough to stretch without tearing.
- 3
Stretch each ball on an oiled surface into a sheet thin enough to read through. Tears are survivable; holes are not.
- 4
Spread the sheet with softened butter, fold it into a square of layers and stack the squares.
- 5
Chill the folded squares. Cold butter is what keeps the layers separate in the pan.
- 6
Roll each square out to the size of your pan and fry dry over medium heat until brown in patches on both sides.
- 7
Serve with grated tomato and a boiled egg.
