(Redirected from Phyllo) Filo (or phyllo) (Greek: ÏÏÎ»Î»Î¿ leaf) is a very thin unleavened dough used for making pastries such as baklava and bÃ¶rek in Middle Eastern, Greek, and Balkan cuisines. Filo-based pastries are made by layering many sheets of filo brushed with olive oil; the pastry is then baked.
One of our favorite dessert party tricks is phyllo cups. You can buy those little phyllo cups, pre-shaped and crimped, out of the freezer at the grocery store. But you can get far more out of a regular package of phyllo, and it doesn't take long to make cups in the size you want. Once baked these can be filled easily and creatively with all sorts of good things - raspberries and cream, chocolate mousse, whipped blue cheese with bacon crumbles.
