Recipe FAQs

How long should I let the crescent dough sit at room temperature before using it?

I recommend letting the dough sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before using it. This will make it easier to work with

Can I freeze the crescent dough if I don't use it all at once?

Yes, you can freeze the remaining dough for later use. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store it in the freezer

How should I store the lemon pastries?

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

    There's a bakery up the street that makes Lemon Turnovers and I always think that's so brilliant! We've all had berry ones, but nothing says summer like lemon pastries. YUM.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
