   Take each ball and roll it out with a rolling pin on the greased surface to form a very thin round flatbread, fold it once to form half a flatbread, and let the pieces rest for an hour.

   Take each half flatbread and stretch it with your hands as far as possible without tearing the dough to form a long, thin strip, brush it with the ghee mixture, and roll it into a cylindrical shape from start to finish, then let the pieces rest for another hour.

   The result is a flaky finger; place each finger in your hand lengthwise and open the dough from the top at the layers without piercing the end, fill it with the desired filling, close it, and place the pieces in a greased baking sheet with a little ghee mixture on top of each piece, then bake in a preheated oven at 400°F on the middle rack until browned underneath, then brown the top and remove it, pouring cold syrup over it and serving.
