3. Sprinkle water and knead into a stiff dough.
4. Pinch some dough [depending on how big the pancake (rotte) is desired and pat the dough with your fingers on a cold griddle/tawa so the dough is spread out like a thin pancake.
5. Make a few depressions on the pancake and place it on medium heat.  Drizzle oil as needed.
