Sieve your flour into a clean bowl, then mix all dry ingredients together. Add butter and mix till crumbly in texture (using the tip of your fingers). Gradually add cold water until dough is formed (do not pour all the water at once). Dust your counter with flour and knead the dough, cover and let it rest for a few minutes.

Afterwards, take out your dough, dust the counter with a little flour, divide the dough and roll each out flat. Cut into rectangle add fish fillings an inch away from the edge and roll.
