Ingredients for filo pastry<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

225 strong white flour<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 quarter teaspoon salt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 teaspoon sugar (leave out if making savoury recipe)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 egg<\/p>\n\n\n\n

30 ml vegetable oil<\/p>\n\n\n\n

75 ml warm water<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 quarter teaspoon lemon juice<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method : How to make filo pastry<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Put the flour, salt and sugar in a bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour the oil into a bowl, add in the the egg and lemon juice and whisk together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make a well in the flour mixture and pour in the egg mixture, then pour in the water<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mix together with a fork and when it is too thick to mix with a fork use your hands and knead it in the bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove from the bowl and then put on a lightly oiled surface and knead and stretch and fold until it is smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put the cotton cloth<\/a>, you can buy one on amazon (affliate) on the table and put your dough on it and cover with a warm bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leave this to rest for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove the bowl and put some flour on the cloth<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stretch the dough on the cloth into a rectangle shape, with your hands<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it is about 15cm by 10cm you can use a rolling pin to help you along. Roll it as much as you can and then put rolling pin to one side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use your hands for the rest of the time to gently stretch the dough until it is about 70 cm by 40 cm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should be able to see your hand under the pastry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending what you need it for leave it to rest for 15 mins and hard so that it easier to work with without ripping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
