Knead the flour, warm water, and salt into a soft dough that does not stick to your hands.
Divide the dough into 6 balls, cover them, and let them rest for 20 minutes.
Melt the butter, let it become warm rather than hot, then roll the dough balls out thinly.
Brush the rolled dough with butter, fold it like an envelope, and rest it for another 10 minutes.
Thin each katmer again with a light dusting of flour.
Heat a griddle or wide pan and cook the katmers with a little vegetable oil for 3 minutes per side, until both sides brown.
Serve the hot katmer with white cheese and grape molasses.
💡 Tip: Rest the dough for 20 minutes before rolling it out; even a short rest reduces tearing under the rolling pin and lets the katmer open thinner.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the katmer hot at breakfast with tea, white cheese, and optional grape molasses.
