Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup milk (or water for a dairy-free option)
- 1 egg (optional, for extra fluffiness)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the Garlic Butter:
- 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs (like parsley, oregano, or basil)
Instructions
- Prepare the Liquid Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, egg (if using), baking powder, and salt until smooth and lump-free. The consistency should be like pancake batter.
- Prepare the Garlic Butter:
- In a small pan, melt the butter or heat the olive oil over low heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the dried herbs and set aside.
- Cook the Flatbread:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a bit of butter or oil.
- Pour a ladleful of the liquid dough into the pan, spreading it out evenly into a circle or oval shape.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
- Flip the flatbread and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Add the Garlic Butter:
- Brush the cooked flatbread generously with the prepared garlic butter while it’s still warm.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve immediately as a side to soups, salads, or curries, or enjoy on its own as a flavorful snack.
Tips for Success
- Use a non-stick skillet for best results.
- Adjust the batter consistency with a bit more milk or water if it feels too thick.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle grated cheese on top while the flatbread is still hot.
