Is puff pastry same as phyllo?

The main differences between puff pastry and phyllo dough are their fat content and preparation. Puff pastry is a laminated dough that gets its signature airy puff from layers of butter, while phyllo dough is largely fat-free. Phyllo dough includes only flour, water, vinegar, and a little oil.

Can I use shortcrust pastry instead of puff?

Well you can use either - shortcrust for that more homely 'like Momma used to make' feel or puff if you like a crispier top. I wouldn't use puff for the bottom/lining of your pie dish though, if you were going to line it. Some shop bought pies have shortcrust for the bottom and sides and puff for the top.

What can I use instead of phyllo dough?

Filo is much more crumbly and light, while puff pastry will be denser. As a rule of thumb, if you are using filo for recipes where you just want a flaky pastry, then puff pastry may work instead, such as some appetizer bites, but otherwise I'd suggest you don't substitute.

How many sheets of phyllo dough should I use?
