To prepare, place one pastry into the slot of a toaster or on a baking sheet in a toaster oven. Toast on a medium setting until the pastry is warm and the frosting is slightly softened. Be careful not to overcook, as the frosting can melt quickly. Allow the pastry to cool for a moment before handling, as it will be hot. It can be enjoyed as is or with a glass of milk.
