Directions

Warm yogurt and stir in milk, until thoroughly mixed.

Remove from heat.

Add baking soda, sugar, 2 tbs butter/oleo, eggs and dry yeast.

Sift together the flour and salt.

Make a well in the flour and gradually add the yogurt mixture.

Knead the flour 15 to 20 mins until smooth and elastic.

Brush dough with some of the remaining butter/oleo.

Cover with a warm, damp cloth and set aside in a warm place for 3 hours until the dough had risen to twice its size.

Dust hands with flour.

Knead the dough again for a few mins and divide into 8 balls.

Roll each ball into a 10-in pancake.

Pull each pancake gently to give it an oval shape.

Cover with damp cloth 20 mins.
