3. Add two tablespoons of melted butter and five tablespoons of flour, and mix until it forms a soft dough.
4. Grease some plastic wrap with a little oil.
5. Place a portion of the dough on the plastic wrap and flatten it into a round shape.
6. Add grated cheese, shredded chicken, or ground beef as a filling. (The presenter used cheese and chorizo).
7. Fold it over and seal carefully using the wrap so it doesn't break.
