Method
Sift the flour, add 1 tsp of salt and gradually pour in 150 ml of warm water. Knead a stiff dough, cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
Divide the dough into 6 pieces, roll each into a thin round sheet and dust lightly with flour so the sheets do not stick together.
Heat a dry skillet without oil and fry each sheet for 1–2 minutes per side until light golden spots appear.
Bring the milk (1 L) to a boil.
Tear the finished flatbreads into pieces and layer them in a deep bowl, then drizzle with melted butter (30 g) and honey (2 tbsp).
Pour the hot milk over the top, let stand for 3–5 minutes and serve.
