Instructions

Mix the flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
Add the warm milk, egg and 40 g of melted butter, then knead for 8 minutes until you have a soft dough.
Cover and let rise for 1 hour in a warm place.
Divide the dough into 4 balls and flatten each into a disc about 1 cm thick.
Brush each disc with melted butter, fold it in half, then in half again, to form flaky squares.
Flatten slightly and let rest for 15 minutes.
Cook in a pan over medium-low heat, 4 minutes per side, until golden.
Brush with melted butter as they come off the pan and serve warm.
