Tips:

  • For a flakier pastry, use cold butter and work it into the flour quickly. You can also freeze the butter for 30 minutes before grating it.
  • Be careful not to overwork the dough, as this will make it tough. Mix the ingredients until they just come together, then stop.
  • Roll out the dough evenly and thinly. If the dough is too thick, the puffs will not rise properly.
  • Make sure the oven is preheated before baking the puffs. This will help them to rise quickly and evenly.
  • Brush the puffs with egg wash before baking. This will give them a golden brown color.
  • Fill the puffs with your favorite filling. You can use sweet or savory fillings, such as cheese, custard, or fruit.
  • Serve the puffs warm or at room temperature.
