👨‍🍳 Instrucțiuni

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper.

   💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Using warm coconut milk helps in forming a cohesive dough.
2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

   💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Ensure dry ingredients are well combined.
3. 3

   Cut in the shortening and butter using your fingertips or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

   💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Work quickly to keep the shortening and butter cold.
4. 4

   Gradually add the warm coconut milk, mixing until a soft, cohesive dough forms. Do not overmix or knead excessively.

5. 5

   Divide the dough into 12-15 equal portions and roll them into balls. Flatten each ball into a disc about 1/2-inch thick.

6. 6

   Place the flattened dough on the prepared baking sheets. Prick the tops with a fork.

   💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Pricking helps prevent puffing up too much during baking.
7. 7

   Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown on the bottom and slightly browned on top.

   💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Baking time may vary depending on your oven.

   Serve warm, sliced horizontally and filled with butter, cheese, eggs, beans, or your favorite toppings.
