Step 1
Mix flour with 0.5 cup water and a pinch of salt until a soft dough forms, then knead for 2 minutes until smooth.
Step 2
Divide dough into 2 balls. On an oiled surface, stretch one ball thin with your hands, then fold into a square.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Pan-fry msemen 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with remaining dough and butter.
Step 5
While msemen cooks, toss cucumber and tomato slices with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs in a bowl.
Step 6
Drizzle warm honey over cooked msemen. Serve hot alongside the cucumber-tomato salad.
