[QUOTE="Trachet, post: 1008023, member: 211113"] Don't know but I expect so. The sheets of pastry are wafer thin. I cut them into squares and brush with melted butter. The recipe I first followed suggested 6 squares of filo ( about 6cm) I tend to use 4. The pastry is VERY thin and often tears - don't worry. You lay a sheet on a muffin tin then brush it with the melted butter or spray with oil. If you place the next square slightly staggered from the previous it will result in the pastry case edge looking like a kind of star. Make sure to push the pastry down so it is in the corners of each muffin hole. Keep any filo not being worked on under a lightly dampened tea towel so that it doesn’t dry out. then any broken filo scrumple up and put on top you can either brush them with beaten egg or spray with oil. Bake briefly for about 12 minutes at 180°C, (Fan 160°C), 350°F, Gas Mark 4. Dust with icing sugar. You need to keep an eye on them whilst baking as they can quickly burn. Fiddly but worth it!
