Jus-Rol Filo Pastry

In the days before our healthy lifestyle choice, if we made a pie, pasty or anything else pastry based, we might make our own puff or flaky pastry.

The only problem with this is the flour and butter/lard/margarine content equals high calories and ProPoints.  Jus-Rol Filo Pastry sheets to the rescue!

Each filo sheet contains just under 150 calories and calculate to 4 ProPoints each.  Now that may sound high to you, but think about it... if you used 2 filo sheets as a lid to a chicken, ham and leek pie, for example, made for 4 people, that would be 300 calories, or 8 ProPoints, shared between 4 portions - only 75 calories (2 ProPoints) per person for a crispy pie top!

And we think that's worth it!
