- Ensure that you use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the puff balls, as the flavor and texture greatly depend on the quality of the puff pastry and fillings; always preheat your oven to the correct temperature to achieve that perfect golden-brown finish.
- Pay careful attention to the baking time and method; avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to allow proper air circulation, which is crucial for puffing up the pastry, and consider using an egg wash for an attractive, glossy finish.
