Notes

If you don’t want to use egg to coat your puff, use melted butter coat that also give nice golden color to the puffs and also it will be 100% veg.
I used dry peas, so had to soak it overnight. If you use fresh peas, you can cook it along with other vegetables.
Check the instructions given in your pastry sheet cover for baking time as it might vary.
