These mini boat pastries are ready to eat straight from the package. For a slightly enhanced experience, you can warm them gently in a low oven for a few minutes to bring out their buttery aroma and soften the texture. They also make a wonderful base for simple toppings. Consider dusting them with powdered sugar, drizzling with a light glaze, or serving them alongside a dollop of whipped cream or a spoonful of jam. Their small size makes them ideal for sampling different accompaniments.
