Combine 100 grams of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of corn starch in a blender or magic bullet, or mix by hand.

Add water gradually until the mixture resembles a crepe batter, not too thick or too runny.

Prepare a non-stick pan and place it over a heat source filled with water, creating a double boiler effect.

Brush the pan with oil to create a circle with the batter, ensuring to fill any empty spots as it cooks.

Cook the batter until the edges dry and the surface is no longer wet, which takes about 3-4 minutes depending on the stove.

Carefully remove the cooked pastry from the pan, being cautious of the steam.

Repeat the process to make additional pastries until all the batter is used, making sure to cover the cooked pastries with a little oil to keep them soft.
