To prepare, simply place the frozen pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow them to thaw slightly at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before baking. Bake in a preheated oven according to package directions until golden brown and puffed. Once baked, they can be enjoyed as is or drizzled with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk for extra sweetness. They are best served warm.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to larger Danish pastries, these are bite-sized, making them ideal for individual servings or as part of a larger dessert spread. Their pre-portioned nature also simplifies preparation and serving, eliminating the need to cut larger pastries.

How to keep the rest
Keep the remaining unbaked pastries frozen until ready to use. Store the package in the freezer to maintain freshness. Once baked, store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or two, though they are best enjoyed fresh from the oven.
