Lay a sheet, with short side facing you, on work surface; keep remaining sheets covered with plastic wrap topped with a damp towel. Lightly brush top half of fillo sheet with butter. Fold unbuttered half on top of buttered half to make a 6 x 8-in. rectangle and brush again. Cut in half to make two 6 x 4-in. rectangles.
