Why is milk listed on the recipe if it’s not used to make anything? 🙂
I was wondering the same thing 🤷🏼♀️
HI Ashley,
It’s used to make the glaze and sorry for the late reply! 🙂

Can this be assembled the night before?
Hi Hannah,
Yes, you can assemble them ahead. Just cover them with cling wrap and chill. Then pour the melted butter only when you are about to bake. Happy baking!
Very good and so easy. I was a bit leery at first to put back in the oven AFTER pouring on the glaze, but this was just fine. Gave the glaze a shiny and firm texture. I will definitely make these again. Thank you.
