Prepare a square piece of cardboard to help shape the Msemmen.

Cut the cardboard to create a perfect square.

Use butter to coat the surface and the cardboard.

Dust the surface with cornflour to prevent sticking.

Take the rested dough and place it in the center of the cardboard.

Gently slide and stretch the dough to flatten it out, being careful not to create large holes.

Apply more butter mixture on top of the dough after stretching.

Dust the top with cornflour, brushing off any excess if necessary.

Turn the dough and repeat the stretching and butter application process on the other side.

Lift the dough off the cardboard and flip it onto a preheated skillet (tawa).

Press down on the dough with your hands to ensure it cooks evenly.

Once it starts to puff up, flip it over to cook the other side until golden brown.
