Recipe Notes

• I have used frozen puff pastry sheets, you use either frozen or homemade sheets.
• While filling the stuffing, make sure it is warm or cold, do not fill with hot stuffing, it will spoil puffs.
• If you want you can brush with beaten egg for a nice golden color, otherwise brush with butter/oil.
