Observations
A creamy and well-structured filling is the secret to a perfect pastel. This version uses a basic white sauce to bind the ingredients, ensuring the filling doesn't leak during frying. It's essential that the preparation is completely cool before assembling the pastéis to maintain the crispness of the dough.
