You prepare a yeast dough from the ingredients. After it has risen, you take a small amount of the dough and form it into flat pancakes (I think that’s the right term) on the baking sheet. I shape them with the ball of my hand. They are then about the size of a saucer or a little larger. After baking, they are spread with butter while they are still hot. I always take a whole knob of butter and rub it over the hot rolls. The butter should be absorbed into the dough a little. Baking time: approx. 20 minutes at 200 degrees (top and bottom heat). 170°C fan. I always bake double the batch. My family can eat some of it straight away. I freeze the rest. They are easy to remove from the freezer bag one by one. Because they are thin, they thaw very quickly.
