Ingredients

• 2  cups all-purpose flour

7. With your fingers, daub a small amount of oil on top of 1 round.
8. Place another round on top and press together.

10. Cover with a damp kitchen cloth until ready to cook, and repeat with the remaining dough.
11. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
12. Cook 1 pancake at a time until barely golden and dry on both sides, turning once, about 1 minute.
13. Remove from the pan, and when cool enough to handle, carefully separate the 2 pancakes.
14. Wrap in foil until ready to use, or refrigerate.
