Tips while you cook

Rest the dough
Allow the dough to rest for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
Soak and dry raisins
Wash, soak, microwave, drain, and pat dry the raisins before mixing with sugar and rum.
Melt butter without browning
Bubble the melted butter on the stovetop, taking care not to brown or burn it.
Roll dough paper‑thin
After the rest period, roll the dough to paper‑thin, then pull apart with the back of your hands to form a square before adding filling.
