Step 1
Mix flour, salt, and 0.5 cup melted butter in a bowl until the texture resembles wet sand.
Step 2
Add warm water gradually, stirring until a shaggy dough forms. Knead lightly for 1 minute until smooth.
Step 3
Divide dough into 2 balls. Oil your work surface, then stretch each ball into a thin square, 10-12 inches.
Step 4
Brush stretched dough with remaining melted butter. Fold in half, then half again to create a smaller square.
Step 5
Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until a water droplet sizzles. Cook msemen 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Step 6
Transfer to a cutting board. Shred or tear into bite-sized pieces, then toss with cinnamon and sugar. Serve warm.
