Filo Pastry is not the same thing as Puff Pastry. The main differences between Filo Pastry and Puff Pastry are their fat content and preparation.
Unlike puff pastry, which relies on fat content to ‘layer’ when it is cooked, Filo Pastry is traditionally made without any shortening or fat – making it a much healthier option to Puff Pastry.
You can choose the type and amount of butter or oil and the quantity of Filo Pastry sheets you use to achieve the layering effect, depending on your recipe.
