Tips:

To ensure the perfect flakiness in your puff pastry, handle it as little as possible and keep it cold. Work quickly and decisively to prevent the butter from melting into the dough.
When rolling out the dough, use a light touch and avoid overworking it. This will help to prevent the pastry from becoming tough.
Before baking, chill the turnovers for at least 30 minutes. This will help to set the dough and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
To achieve a golden brown color on your turnovers, brush them with an egg wash before baking. You can also sprinkle them with sugar or cinnamon sugar for an extra sweet touch.
Keep an eye on the turnovers while they are baking to ensure that they do not overcook. They should be golden brown and flaky, but not burnt.
