• with a damp towel to keep them from drying out.
• 5. Place one sheet of phyllo on work surface with longer side toward you. Lightly brush entire sheet with melted butter. Continue to place one sheet on another, brushing each one individually with butter until you have four sheets stacked. Trim the edges to make uniform.
