  • Choose fresh ingredients: The freshness of the ingredients will greatly impact the taste and texture of your egg puffs. Use farm-fresh eggs, high-quality butter, and all-purpose flour.
  • Follow the recipe carefully: Egg puffs are a delicate pastry that requires precise measurements and cooking times. Be sure to follow the recipe exactly as written to ensure success.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking helps to prevent the egg puffs from spreading too much. This will result in a more evenly cooked and flaky pastry.
  • Preheat the oven: Always preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking the egg puffs. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly and properly.
