Re: Puff Pastry

TavliGal · 2005-01-18T02:27:51+00:00

A real challenge - has anyone here successfully made a replacement for Puff pastry or should I just replace it with a few sheets of Filo?? Just got a real craving for Chicken & Mushroom pie and I really fancy the 'bite' of the pastry as it flakes(drool) the filling isn't enough on it's own, somehow Hi elise, I know of no substitutions, I may be a crappy cook, but I am a greek one. 🙂 Not trying to imitate Mr. JC here but filo is not low carb. One sheet of filo has about 16 carbs, and if you want to fill it with something savoury it'll take at least 3 sheets or more. Hope this helps and good luck, if you do find a decent substitution, tell me about it. I do miss spanakopita the most.
