Fold filo pastry triangles - How to fold filo pastry triangles


The Hummus Recipes Kitchen (The home of Hummus Recipes & Delicious Middle Eastern Recipes) invites you to learn how to fold filo pastry triangles.

Need to 'filo' up a hungry crowd? Here's how to make perfect pastry triangles.

Step 1: Cut filo pastry sheet into 6 long strips. Place 1 tablespoon of filling in one corner of pastry, leaving a 1cm border. Don't overfill triangles or they will split.

Step 2: Gently lift pastry corner with filling and fold tightly diagonally to create a triangle (take care not to tear pastry). Continue folding, retaining triangle shape.

Step 3: Place triangles on a tray lined with baking paper. If making a large quantity, cover already-prepared triangles with a damp tea towel to prevent them drying out.
