Instructions
Make the Dough
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl, rub in the softened butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs, then gradually add warm water and knead for 3 minutes until you have a smooth soft dough.
Rest the Dough
Divide the dough into 6 equal balls, cover them with a clean kitchen towel, and let them rest for 10 minutes so the gluten relaxes and makes rolling much easier.
Roll and Cook
Roll each ball into a thin circle on a lightly floured surface, cook on a dry hot skillet for 1 to 2 minutes per side until light brown spots appear and the roti puffs in places.
Butter and Stack
Brush each hot roti lightly with butter as it comes off the skillet, then stack them under a clean cloth to keep them soft and pliable until ready to serve.
