  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a bowl mash the farmer's cheese

  with butter and spread 1 teaspoon of the cheese mixture in a corner.

  square, then a third time to make a triangle.  Using a pancake
  turner, place on a greased baking sheet. Brush the top with butter.
  Repeat with the remaining filling and the remaining phyllo dough.
  Bake for about 15 minutes, until golden. Eat immediately, or
