❓ Q & A
Q1: Can I bake instead of fry?
Yes! Bake at 200°C for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway. Brush lightly with oil for crispiness.

Mixture may be too soft—add more cornflour or chill longer.
Q3: Can I make them ahead of time?
Yes, shape and refrigerate for up to 24 hours or freeze for later.
Q4: Which cheese works best?
Mozzarella for stretch, cheddar for stronger flavor.
Q5: Can I add other fillings?
