Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough. Work the dough just until it comes together.
Chill the dough before baking. This will help the dough to rise evenly.
Bake the puffs at a high temperature. This will help them to rise quickly and create a crispy crust.
Fill the puffs with your favorite ingredients. Turkey salad, chicken salad, or ham salad are all popular choices.
Serve the puffs warm or at room temperature. They can be enjoyed as an appetizer, a main course, or a snack.
