Cook the kisra
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour in a few tablespoons of batter and spread it immediately into a very thin layer. Cook for about 2 minutes, until the surface feels dry; fold the edges inward, turn it over, and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 8 pieces.
Ready to continue when: Each piece is set, lifts from the pan, and has a dry surface with a few bubbles.
