• In a large bowl, mix the flour, semolina, salt and honey.
• Add the warm water and mix to form a dough. Add more water if necessary to obtain a soft dough that is easy to knead, but not sticky. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
• Divide the dough into 5 portions, apply oil and set aside for 15 minutes.
• Melt the butter and mix cooking oil for stuffing.
• Prepare a large, smooth surface to work with the dough, grease the work surface with a little vegetable oil so that the dough does not stick.
• Place the balls of dough on an oiled surface, like a baking sheet. Make sure the dough is well oiled so it doesn’t dry out.
• With oiled hands, flatten and spread the dough into a very thin circle or irregular square. Make it as thin as you can.
• Apply melted butter and sprinkle it with a little semolina. This helps keep the folded layers separate while the pancake cooks.
• Fold one side of the dough to the centre.
• Fold the opposite side in toward the centre to form a narrow strip of dough.
• Fold dough like envelop shape as shown in the video.
• Set the folded dough aside on an oiled surface. Repeat the process until all the dough has been folded into a envelop shape.
• Let them rest for 10 minutes. Flatten the envelop shaped dough with light hands.
• Heat a skillet, cast-iron skillet, or griddle over medium to medium-high heat.
• Place the pancake in the pan and fry, turning several times, until golden brown and the centre of the pastry is cooked through.
• Serve with honey and mint tea.
• Enjoy!
