Is Phylo Dough "safe" - I am wondering if I can use it to wrap some appetizers?

We are going to our first party since IBS. I called the hostess to offer to bring some safe foods and she was so nice about it. Now now I am trying to think of what to bring.
Thanks,
Lefty

Yes it is safe. All you have to do is spray butter flavor spray between each sheet instead of melted butter. It is an excellent substition for traditional crusts in pies and crisps too. The brand at my store is also vegan and all natural! A great low fat trick.

Thanks Little Mini,
Was that a yes for the puffed pastry question or the Phylo dough? It looks like there were two questions on this thread and I just want to make sure I understand so I don't make the wrong thing!

I think puff pastry has fat in it already. But phyllo dough is just plain dough sheets and you are supposed to add the fat.

its already buttered between the layers.. but then again.. the concept is still the fat that allows it to seperate like that when served and puff up.. so even if you are adding your own fat- its still going to have a LOT of fat in it.. and it has to be a solid fat, which melts not a liquid fat or it won't roll, etc right...

I have never seen it already buttered. The kind I get is in the freezer section in a long thin box and is actually vegan. I wish I had some now so I could check on it, but I remember that when I last looked the ingredients were like flour, yeast, water basically. I will check the brand name and stuff when I go back to the store. I know this is accurate though as Cooking Light often has very low fat recipes for phyllo crusts. They are great for substituting as long as you make with butter spray and not melted butter. I'll get back with the brand and confirmed info soon.

Even though I know they are soooooo bad for me. I was a very bad girl today. Went to my friend's b-day party. Ate a bunch of things I shouldn't. Now I am nauseus!  Oh well serves me right!
