Tips:

- Ensure the puff pastry is well-chilled before working with it to make it easier to handle and to help it bake up nicely.

- Use a food processor to finely chop the mushrooms and scallions for a more uniform filling.

- Brush the edges of the pastry with water before sealing to ensure a tight seal and prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.

- For a glossy finish, brush the empanadas with an egg wash made from a beaten egg before baking.

- Preheat your oven to ensure consistent baking and a golden-brown crust.

- Allow the empanadas to cool slightly before serving to let the filling set and to avoid burning your mouth.
