It’s Zippy Tip Tuesday!
Phyllo dough is such a versatile asset to the kitchen.
Its crispy, crunchy texture lends itself nicely to any savory or sweet applications, and it works nicely in both healthy and decadent creations. For an example of phyllo dough used in a recipe, click here: Cherry Lime Truffle Cups.
Working with it can be a bit tricky though, so the tips in this video assist in getting the hang of it fairly quickly.

Mom always said it is nice to share!
I am a fan of phyllo dough and I always have a package in my freezer. It can be so handy when you want to make a dessert or appetizer and don’t want to make pastry. Great tips here on how to work with this dough.
I know what you mean, Jovina. It is so quick and easy to use! Thanks for stopping by!
I also love working with phyllo. One tip I have, if not needing to bake the contents of a cup, for say your Cherry Lime Truffle cups, but maybe wanting it for ice cream etc, instead of using the inside of a muffin pan to shape the cup, turn the pan over and use the other side. Doing this gives a slightly bigger cup shape too
Hi Em, thank you so much for the tip! In fact, I plan to follow up this week with another post using phyllo cups. May I credit your name with mentioning the tip?
I’ve pinned this thank you for posting. I’m following you via Pintrest. I host Fluster Creative Muster Party on Wednesdays and I would love it if you would come by and party with us. Hope to see you there!
Hugs, Smiles, and Blessings,

Thanks for the invite, Robin. I will link up on Wednesday!
LOL “Get the Phyll-of-it” Ok – I did not have much spare time this week but purposefully saved this email so I could watch because I love your Tuesday videos. Too fun. I used Phyllo in my “Get Your Chef On” challenge recipe recently (http://wp.me/p2ZsWv-M2) (PS: I won that one – holy cow!) and then froze and used the leftovers for a Honey Almond tart a couple of weeks later (http://wp.me/p2ZsWv-Rt) and I think if more people tried it it wouldn’t be so intimidating!
Adore your videos. Someday I’ll be brave enough to do videos. lol
Have a great week Sherry!!

Oh Claire, your recipes are gorgeous! Feel free to post them to my FB page (http://www.facebook.com/jazzygourmet), since I had a big phyllo party last week. In fact, I always have a Zippy Tip Tuesday FB party every week that correlates with the Zippy Tip of the week. Yesterday was onions, so come on over with your favorite onion recipe!
