Working with filo pastry

Paper-thin translucent sheets of filo pastry are sold ready-made in rolled layers, either chilled or frozen. Strengthen the delicate sheets by using several layers together.

-Take one sheet of filo and place it onto a baking tray. Dot all over with melted butter, using a pastry brush.

-Cover the first sheet of filo with another and brush with more of the melted butter.

-Repeat the process according to how many sheets of filo pastry the recipe requires.
