Variations

Want to make these pastries but need a vegan or gluten-free option? No problem! 🌱💪

**For a gluten-free version**, simply substitute the regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure it’s one that includes xanthan gum to help with the texture.

**For a vegan variation**, swap out the butter for vegan butter and use flax or chia eggs in place of regular eggs. 🌿✨ To make a flax or chia egg, mix one tablespoon of ground flax seeds or chia seeds with three tablespoons of water and let it sit until it becomes gelatinous.

Enjoy the same delightful flavors without compromising on your dietary needs!
