Handling filo

How to cook using this crisp, paper-thin pastry.

Points to remember

  • Melt butter.
  • Unroll filo pastry pack. Remove sheets as required, keeping unused sheets covered with clingfilm or a damp tea towel.
  • Brush each sheet with melted butter and layer as required.
  • Use for making samosas, parcels, streusels and lining tart tins.

Useful tips

  • Filo dries out quickly - keep any pastry you're not using completely covered.
  • Layer several sheets of pastry to make your finished dish sturdier.
