These pastries were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pastries didn't turn out flaky at all. They were still tasty, but I was disappointed with the texture.

The pastries were a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I would add a little more butter to the dough next time.
