Ingredients

    4 oz feta
    2 tbsp honey
    ½ tsp salt

Directions

In a large bowl, mash the cheese, honey and salt together until well combined.

Turn the dough out onto a work surface and knead briefly.

Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.
Lightly flour a work surface and roll each piece into a very thin circle about 3 inches in diameter.
