Cover fillo completely with plastic wrap, then a damp towel.Keep fillo covered until needed. Do not leave uncovered for more than one minute to avoid drying out. Microwave butter until melted. This will give you a lighter and flakier pastry. Brush each layer of fillo with melted butter, margarine or oil.To prevent edges from cracking, brush edges first and then work into center. Be sure to brush the last layer of fillo with melted butter.Fillings should be chilled and not excessively moist. Fillo may be rolled and refrozen to store when not in use.
