# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The beef filling stays incredibly moist while the pastry turns perfectly flaky and golden
  • These freeze beautifully before baking so you can always have emergency appetizers ready
02 -
  • Keep the pastry cold while working because warm pastry becomes stubborn and loses its flaky layers
  • Do not overfill the rolls or the pastry will tear and the filling will burst through during baking
03 -
  • Chill your baking sheet in the freezer before placing the rolls on it for an extra flaky bottom crust
  • Brush the egg wash over the sides too not just the top for even golden color all over
