Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the soldier buttons will taste. If possible, use organic vegetables and fruits.
  • Choose ripe fruit: The fruit you use for the filling should be ripe and sweet. This will help to give the soldier buttons a delicious flavor.
  • Don't overcook the fruit: When cooking the fruit for the filling, be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked fruit will be mushy and will not have a good flavor.
  • Let the dough rise properly: Before baking the soldier buttons, let the dough rise until it has doubled in size. This will help to ensure that the soldier buttons are light and fluffy.
  • Bake the soldier buttons at the correct temperature: The temperature of the oven is important for baking the soldier buttons. If the oven is too hot, the soldier buttons will burn. If the oven is too cool, the soldier buttons will not cook properly.
