Lightly moisten the phyllo dough you have divided by applying oil and soda mixture with the help of a brush. (You can also make the dough without soaking it)
  6. Place a square-shaped mortar on the thick side of the phyllo dough you cut and sprinkle grated cheddar cheese. Fold the dough to form an envelope and close it.
  7. Heat a large, non-stick crepe pan over medium heat. Fry the pancakes one by one, turning them up and down, until they change color. As soon as you remove it from the pan, apply butter and serve hot. Enjoy your meal!
  8. Note: After the pancakes have cooled, you can place them in refrigerator bags (without oiling) and store them in the deep freezer for up to 6 months. When you want to consume it, you can heat it in a pan and spread it with butter.
