Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Edible flowers (e.g., pansies, violets, calendula, or nasturtiums)
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh mint leaves (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 Optional: Pinch of ground black pepper
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add honey, warm water, and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Cover them with a damp cloth to prevent drying while rolling.
Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a thin circle approximately 6-8 inches in diameter.
Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook each tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until golden spots form. Remove and set aside.
To prepare the topping, combine plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and chopped mint leaves in a small bowl. Mix until smooth.
Spread a thin layer of the yogurt mixture over each tortilla.
Gently place edible flowers on top of the yogurt layer, arranging them decoratively.
Sprinkle with lemon zest and a pinch of black pepper (if using) for an extra pop of flavor.
Serve immediately as a light, refreshing dish or party appetizer.
