Carefully unroll as many sheets needed; store remainder immediately.
Place the sheets not immediately in use between linen tea towels to prevent drying.
If weather is very hot and dry, sprinkle a little water on towels.
Phyllo sheets are generally 16 x 22 inches.
Stack 2 leaves together, cutting through both sheets.
Cut strips 2 inches wide by 16 inches long.
Brush with melted butter.
Place a teaspoon of filling on one end of strip.
Fold one corner of strip to opposite side, forming a triangle and enclosing filling.
Continue folding as you would an American flag, to end of strip, maintaining triangular shape.
