Method
Make a soft dough from the flour, salt and water, knead it 8 minutes until it is smooth, and rest it 30 minutes under a film of oil
Divide it into two balls. On an oiled surface, flatten each one and stretch it with your palms until it is almost transparent
Pour a third of the beaten egg over the sheet and spread it to the edges
Fold the sheet in from all four sides to make a square parcel
Fry it in a little oil over medium heat, 3 to 4 minutes a side, until golden and puffed
Cut into squares and serve hot, with honey

From the kitchen
Oil for stretching, never flour. Flour makes the sheet tear before it gets thin enough
The half-hour rest is what lets it stretch that far. Skip it and it springs back every time
Eat it hot. Cold fatira turns leathery and no amount of honey rescues it
A plain version with no egg is made on fasting days
