2. Combine Ingredients: In a separate container, combine melted butter with milk to create a flavorful liquid mixture.

3. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the liquid ingredients into the flour mixture, beating well to incorporate. This step ensures a consistent dough consistency.

4. Knead the Dough: Once the mixture forms a soft dough, lightly flour a clean surface with part of the remaining flour. Turn out the dough onto the floured surface and knead lightly, incorporating the remaining flour as needed.

5. Divide and Shape: Divide the dough into 3 equal parts and shape each portion into a round pone approximately 1/8 inch thick, with a diameter to fit your skillet.

6. Heat Oil: Pour enough oil into a skillet to measure about 1/4 inch deep. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches the desired temperature.

7. Brown the Bread: Working one loaf at a time, carefully place it into the hot skillet and brown it quickly on both sides until golden and crispy.

8. Serve: Once all loaves are cooked, transfer them to a serving platter and enjoy warm with your favorite accompaniments or as a standalone treat.
