Stir water in and then knead into smooth dough. Cover with plastic wrapper, and put in refrigerator to reset for around 1 hour.
  • To prepare the butter wrapped inside: place the butter in a plastic bag and shape it to a rectangle with a rolling pin. Put into refrigerator so the butter will not melt.
  • Get the wrapper dough out and then roll into a large rectangle, slightly over 3 times wider and longer than the butter rectangle. Get the butter rectangle out, remove the plastic bag and place it in the middle of the flour rectangle. Fold the two sides up.
  • Then rotate the wrapper around 90 degree and then roll out into a large rectangle again. Fold the rectangle wrapper to form a four layer wrapper. Place in refrigerator to reset for 20 minutes.
