Tips & Substitutions
To achieve a flakier texture, ensure your butter is cold before creaming. You can substitute half of the flour with whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor. If you're looking for a twist, consider adding minced jalapeños to the filling for extra heat or try a cream cheese filling instead of corned beef.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pastries in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 10-15 minutes until heated through. This will help maintain their flaky texture.
