- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will always yield the best results, so be sure to use high-quality cherries and cream.
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before you roll it out will help to prevent it from sticking to your work surface and will make it easier to handle.
- Be Careful Not to Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough, so be sure to mix it just until it comes together.
- Bake the Puff Pastry Until It Is Golden Brown: This will ensure that it is cooked through and will give it a nice, flaky texture.
- Let the Puff Pastry Cool Completely Before Filling It: This will help to prevent the filling from making the pastry soggy.
- Use a Pastry Bag to Fill the Puff Pastry Ring: This will help you to create a neat and even filling.
