- Proper Dough Rest : Let the dough rest in the melted shortening and vegetable oil mixture for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the dough to become more elastic and easier to work with.
- Well-Seasoned Filling : Make sure the filling is well-seasoned before stuffing the appetizers. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Perfect Seal : When forming the appetizers, be sure to seal the edges well by pressing them with a fork. This will prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
