Step 1
Mix flour and 0.25 tsp salt in a bowl. Add 2 tbsp melted butter and water, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 2
Knead until smooth, about 2 minutes. Divide into 2 balls, brush with remaining 2 tbsp melted butter, and rest 5 minutes.
Step 3
Roll each ball into a thin 8-inch square on a floured surface, stretching gently with your hands to paper-thin.
Step 4
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until foaming. Slide one square in and cook until golden and crispy, 3–4 minutes.
Step 5
Flip and cook the other side until deep golden and blistered, another 2–3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the second square.
Step 6
Warm honey in a small pan for 30 seconds. Drizzle over msemen, sprinkle with sesame seeds if using, and serve immediately.
