Filo Dough Triangles
2 boxes (2 pounds) Filo pastry leaves
1 to 1+1/2 pounds unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
3 batches of FILLING(s) (see below)
Melt the butter. Take a filo leaf, lay it out flat, and brush it
with melted butter. Put another leaf on top of this one and butter
it as well. Cut this into four long strips (the dough is usually
18×24, so when you cut it, you should get four 4.5×24 strips). For
each strip, put a spoonful of filling at the top, and then flag-fold
the strip into a triangle with the filling inside. Repeat until you
run out of either the filling or the filo leaves.
Slash the tops of the triangles — be careful not to cut through to
the filling.
Bake these at 450 degrees F. for about twenty to twenty-five minutes.
(Basically, you just want to make them golden-brown.)
