Coconut oil 1 tbsp
Salt 1 tsp

Warm water 1 cup
Cinnamon 1/2 tbsp
Directions
- Put all of the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Make a hole in the center, and add the coconut oil and water.
- Mix by hand or using a blender. Add water as needed to create malleable dough.
- Take the dough out of the bowl, put some flour on a cutting board, and massage the dough until it's nice and fluffy. Add more flour as needed so that the dough isn't too sticky. Roll out the dough very flat and let it sit and rise for a few minutes.
- Cut the dough into little squares, and toss them into some sizzling coconut oil to fry. For a slightly healthier option, try these baked! Serve with honey or natural jam.
