Thai Roti (Sweet Condensed Milk Pancake)

A popular street food dessert — a stretchy, buttery flatbread fried until crispy on the outside and soft inside, traditionally drizzled with condensed milk and sugar.

Cuisine: Thailand

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp condensed milk (for dough)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Butter or ghee for frying
• Condensed milk and sugar for topping
• Optional: Sliced bananas

Instructions

1. Mix flour, water, egg, 1 tbsp condensed milk, and salt. Knead into a smooth, elastic dough.
2. Divide into small balls, coat with oil, and rest for at least 2 hours (or overnight).
3. On a greased surface, flatten a ball and stretch it until paper-thin.
4. Heat butter in a flat pan. Place the dough in the pan. Fold the edges to make a square.
5. Fry until golden and crispy on both sides. Add banana slices inside if desired before folding.
6. Cut into squares, drizzle with condensed milk and sugar. Serve hot.
