Ingredients
Scale
- 1 × 400 g (14.1 oz) light coconut milk (tin)
- 450 g (15.9 oz) self-raising flour
- 30 g (1.1 oz) unsalted butter
- olive oil (for cooking/greasing)
Instructions
- Liquid Foundation: Whisk coconut milk with sea salt in a spacious mixing bowl, creating a silky, uniform base for dough development.
- Dough Formation: Gradually fold flour into the liquid mixture, kneading methodically until a supple, elastic dough emerges with a smooth texture. Work the mixture gently, adjusting flour quantity as needed to achieve optimal consistency.
- Portioning and Shaping: Relocate dough to a lightly dusted surface, subdividing into 8 symmetrical segments. Roll each portion into perfectly rounded spheres with gentle, even pressure.
- Dough Preparation: Utilize a rolling pin to transform each dough ball into delicate circular discs, approximately 10 centimeters wide. Softly imprint fingertips across surfaces to generate rustic, artistic textures.
- Preliminary Resting: Arrange prepared rounds on a lightly greased tray, covering with a marginally dampened kitchen towel to preserve moisture and prevent dehydration.
- Cooking Technique: Ignite a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, introducing a harmonious blend of butter and neutral cooking oil to create an ideal searing environment.
- Batch Cooking: Carefully nestle 2-3 dough rounds into the heated pan, allowing each side to caramelize for 2-3 minutes until achieving a golden-bronze complexion and achieving a delightfully puffy elevation.
- Preservation and Serving: Carefully transfer completed rounds to a warming plate, preserving their temperature and tenderness while completing subsequent cooking batches.
Notes
- Flour Power: Use fresh flour and adjust quantity based on dough consistency; not all flour may be needed.
- Moisture Management: Keep dough covered with a damp towel to prevent surface drying and maintain softness.
- Heat Control: Maintain medium skillet temperature for even golden-brown cooking without burning.
- Resting Ritual: Allow cooked rounds to rest on a warm surface to preserve heat and texture.
