Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup water
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Directions:
- In a large bowl, stir together flour, salt and water until a soft dough is formed. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly. Divide dough into golf ball size pieces and cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap.
- Select a ball of dough and roll out until very thin but not torn. Sprinkle lightly and evenly with sugar. Fold up dough into a small square and roll out again until thin.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium heat. Place the rolled dough onto the pan and cook for 1/2 to 1 minute on each side until golden. Serve immediately. Repeat until all dough balls have been rolled and cooked.
- Drizzle these bad boys with honey! They are terribly yummy!

Ingredients:
- 2 cups milk
- 1/4 cup unsweetened instant tea
- 1/4 cup nonfat vanilla yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

Directions:
In a blender, combine all ingredients but the ice and mint. Process until blended. Gradually add enough ice to make a thick consistency. Pour mixture into tall glasses and serve. Garnish with fresh mint, if desired.
The recipe above is unsweetened, so we added some sugar! About a spoon per glass. Also, honey would probably be very yummy!
