Just a few ideas to use up all those bits of leftover filo pastry
You can make them bite-size and you get a lot from a small amount of pastry. I have a 24 mini bun tin which gives a perfect size for canapés. They can be sweet or savoury and can be frozen before cooking. I have a container in which I keep some empty baked shells which can be filled with cream cheese and smoked salmon or diced chicken in a curry mayonnaise. Even though these are small three or so can be served as a starter with a salad.
