These pastries are typically enjoyed as is, straight from the package. For a slightly warmer experience, they can be gently heated in an oven or toaster oven for a few minutes until the pastry is crisp and the filling is warm. This enhances the aroma and makes the pastry even more delightful. They are also excellent served alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, transforming them into a more substantial dessert.

How to keep the rest

If storing for an extended period, a cool, dry pantry is ideal. Ensure the container is well-sealed to prevent the pastry from becoming stale.
