Treat your ingredients with care...
- Flour — Use all-purpose flour for the best results. Avoid using self-rising flour as it may affect the texture of the Roti Tisu.
- Sweet filling — Be creative with your choice of filling. You can use chocolate, caramel, or even fruit preserves to add a unique flavor to your Roti Tisu.
Tips & Tricks
- To achieve a paper-thin texture, make sure to roll the dough as thin as possible without tearing it.
- Experiment with different fillings to create a variety of flavors.
- Serve the Roti Tisu immediately after frying to maintain its crispiness.
- Dust the Roti Tisu with powdered sugar just before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
- If you prefer a less sweet version, you can reduce the amount of sugar in the dough.

Presentation advice
To present the Roti Tisu, place it upright on a serving plate, allowing its cone shape to stand tall. You can garnish it with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or drizzle some chocolate sauce over the top for an elegant touch.
