When you live in a small town you don’t always have access to everything you think you might want. I was looking for some little fillo cups the other day and found out that they are only available at my favorite grocery store around the holidays.
Okay, I better stop here and think about the spelling of fillo. On the Athens Fillo Dough site, they spell it both “fillo” and “phyllo” and I have also seen it spelled, “filo” – very confusing. I decided to go with fillo. So there 🙂
Soooo, where were we? Oh yes, fillo cups. I could find fillo dough but not cups. So the thing to do, obviously, was to buy the dough and make my own!
Here is how I did it:

Now that was just fun! It wasn’t nearly as hard as I thought it would be after hearing how “difficult” it is to work with fillo. It really wasn’t at all.
Okay, what else could you put in those little cups?
