# Directions:

03 - Flatten one dough ball into a thin, almost translucent circle using oiled hands. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with semolina.
04 - Fold the sides of the dough circle inward to create a square, brushing each fold with butter and sprinkling additional semolina as you fold.
05 - Repeat the shaping and folding process with remaining dough balls. Allow folded squares to rest for 5 minutes.
06 - Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly brush with vegetable oil.
07 - Gently flatten each square to approximately 1/4 inch thickness and fry for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and flaky, adding more oil as needed.
08 - Serve the msemen warm, drizzled generously with warmed honey.
