This is one of those things that everybody should at least do once, because it is so satisfying. I didn't get to many pictures of the whole thing because I was chatting it up with my brother while making them, but the steps aren't too hard to comprehend.
I used this recipe from The Prairie Homestead to start. I followed it exactly and it came out great. I started with two cups of whole wheat flour, added the salt, and then used my fingers to incorporate the coconut oil.
I then added the milk and mixed it all up! I had to knead it a little bit. Then I let it rest until I was ready to make them. Then I cut them up into 8 equal portions (if you are picky you can use a food scale, but I'm not so picky :)). Rolled them out as thin as I could and got my frying pan ready! I really really wish I had a cast iron skillet. I have a cast iron dutch oven , but that wouldn't have worked for this, clearly. I just used my nonstick pan and it was fine. I didn't need any oil. I just heated the pan over medium high heat and flopped one of the discs in there. They cooked for about 30 seconds each side and they were done! I didn't even get a picture of the finished products...shame on me. However, this is how they looked filled with delicious shredded beef filling going into the casserole dish.
2 cups flour (I used all white, but next time will use a combo white/whole wheat)
1 tsp salt (I used sea salt)
2 T coconut oil in its solid state. If it is summer and it is liquid put it in the fridge for a bit first.
3/4 c warm whole milk
Mix the flour and salt in a medium sized bowl, and then cut in the coconut oil, as in making a pie crust or biscuits. Then add in the milk and combine and knead a bit to form a uniform dough. Let it rest for at least 20 minutes. Divide the dough into 8 portions, roll out using a bit of flour to prevent sticking, and then cook in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side. Done!
