Going to get a pie maker and would like to know what is best pastry.Some recipes have different pastry for the top and the bottom.Also how would filo pastry go. thanks.

just buy some low fat puff pastry. It makes great pies as its not as puffy as normal puff pastry but still has a bit of flake to it.

I use the savoury short crust pastry on bottom of pies and a flaky on top for small pies. I find all flaky is a bit messy when eating. Filo is nice but can be messy also but depends on what size the small pies are. If bite sized then flaky and filo would be okay.

Toast bread works in those pie makers too.

i use flaky puff, ps dont use sweet short...it just dosnt work no matter how hard ive tried.i think its because the moisture from the pastry is locked in and the pastry cant dry out like it can in a normal open oven.

Whichever pastry you use make sure your filling is chilled.
