• Maple syrup: As a result of these buns are on the sweeter facet, you’ll use a bit maple syrup within the dough. It enhances the berry taste fairly properly.
• Berries: For the triple berry model, use frozen combined berries (or recent). For the raspberry almond croissant, use frozen raspberries.
• Sliced almonds + powdered sugar (raspberry almond model solely): These give the raspberry almond croissant variation its bakery-style end.
