just try making it the bero way and it didn't turn out right maybe it the flour here (usa)

try using phylo or puff pastry. ( you can find it ready made) I make my own puff pastry. lotts of butter and alot of work, but well worth it

you can try using filo. i don't know if that is the same thing as phylo but i had a box of it before and that's how it was spelled.

I may have spelled it wrong...but it is the same thing

Use crisco or lard instead of butter or margarine and it should end up flakey.

Or you can do like you would to make croisants (sp)
roll out dough
spread with butter
fold in half
roll out again
spread with butter
roll out again
repeat
repeat
keep doing that until you get fed up and then next time, go and buy the filo dough.
