  • Make sure the butter is cold before you start working with it. This will help to keep the dough flaky.
  • Don't overwork the dough. This will make it tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the dough from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the crescents until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
