Prep: 35 min | Cook: 22 min | Total: 1 hr 12 min

Cost: $0.47 total, $0.12 per serving

Ingredients

  • 200 g All‑purpose flour (Sift before use)
  • 1 c. à café Salt (Fine salt)
  • 250 ml Water (Room temperature)
  • 30 ml Vegetable oil (e.g., sunflower oil) (For greasing the pan and brushing the sheets)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough

    In a bowl, combine 200 g sifted flour, 1 tsp salt and 250 ml water. Whisk vigorously until you obtain a smooth, lump‑free batter.

    Time: PT5M

  2. Dough resting

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.

    Time: PT30M

  3. Heat the pan

    Place the non‑stick pan over medium heat and let it warm for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and place it on a lightly dampened cloth to speed up cooling.

    Time: PT2M

  4. Grease the pan

    Brush the pan surface with a paper towel soaked in a little oil, then finish with the silicone brush to achieve a very thin layer.

    Time: PT1M

  5. Pour and spread the batter

    Pour a small ladle of batter into the center of the pan and, in a few seconds, spread it quickly into an ultra‑thin layer, making sure to cover the edges and seal any holes.

    Time: PT1M

  6. Cook the sheet

    Return the pan to medium heat and cook until the surface turns white and the edges lift easily, about 2 minutes.

    Time: PT2M

  7. Remove and oil the sheet

    Carefully lift the sheet with your hands or a spatula, place it on a plate, brush it immediately with a drizzle of oil and cover with a clean cloth to prevent drying.

    Time: PT1M

  8. Repeat until batter is exhausted

    Repeat steps 4 to 7 until all batter is used, lightly cleaning the pan between each sheet if necessary.

    Time: PT15M

  9. Final rest of the sheets

    Let the sheets rest, still covered with a damp cloth, for 5 minutes before stacking or using them.

    Time: PT5M
