Didn't miss the cardamom <g> And Helpful Hint that I learned a while
back from working with filo: get yourself a small spritzer bottle and
*spray* the melted butter on the filo sheets. Quicker and keeps the
dough intact and you avoid "bunching up" the sheets. To keep the
butter melted throughout the process, I let it sit on a heating pad
that is covered with a dish towel.
