Things You'll Need:
- Phyllo dough
- Plastic wrap
- Towel
- Butter
- Basting brush
- Muffin tin
-
Step 1
Allow the phyllo dough to thaw in the refrigerator overnight or for at least six hours.
-
Step 2
Roll out the phyllo dough onto a clean and dry surface, cover with plastic wrap and top with a damp towel. This keeps the dough from getting hard or cracked on the edges so don't leave the dough uncovered for more than one minute.
-
Step 3
Butter the edges with melted butter using a basting brush and working your way from the outside edge to the middle.
-
Step 4
Layer another phyllo sheet on the top of the first and repeat Step 3. Continue layering and buttering until you layer at least five sheets of phyllo.
-
Step 5
Cut the phyllo sheets in squares or circles, depending on your recipe, and place them in buttered muffin tins. Bake at 350 degrees F for eight to ten minutes or until golden brown.
-
Step 6
Fill the cooled phyllo circles or squares with prepared filling and serve. If you're not ready to serve them, simply re-heat them when you are.
