Tips To Ease Your Job!
- Boil and Cool Eggs in Advance – Boil the eggs ahead of time and let them cool completely. This prevents them from being too hot when assembling.
- Use Pre-Cut Puff Pastry – If available, buy pre-cut puff pastry squares to save time and effort.
- Make the Filling in Advance – Cook the onion masala a few hours ahead or even the night before, so it’s completely cool when assembling.
- Use a Cookie Cutter for Uniform Shapes – If you want perfectly shaped puffs, use a round or square cookie cutter to trim the pastry neatly.
- Keep Your Hands and Surface Cool – Work on a cool surface and handle the pastry with cold hands to prevent the butter in the dough from melting.
