Auntie thanks for your videos my mum thought me how to make them just like you do, the secret to getting them round, she used to say was in the method of rolling, slight pressure on one side of the rolling pin and nothing (just guide it)on the other side🙂🥰

It could be the type of flour as well. We usually use snowflake. If you have reduced the water from the 2 cups and the dough is still sticky then you may have to skip the resting stage (in the plastic) and work with the dough immediately.
