• You can add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the butter mixture for extra flavor.
• If you don't have parchment paper, you can lightly grease the baking sheet instead.

Storage and Serving

• Crescent Butterflies are best served warm from the oven.
• Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the pastries in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until warmed through.
