Or beef dripping.

-
knead the mixture until there are no cracks in it.
-
Flatten the ball and roll it out into a round just under 1/4 inch thick.

Invert a plate on top and trim off the ragged edges -- these can be added to the next batch of dough to be rolled.
-
Cut the round into quarters, lift them onto a warmed and greased bakestone and
-
cook over moderate
-
heat for 20 minutes or until the triangles curl at the corners.

Turn and cook the other side for 5 minutes, or finish under a moderate grill.
