It’s back to school time, which also means back to fundraisers. It can be tiring to have the same fundraiser year after year or to support a fundraiser with one of those lame catalogs stuffed full of expensive items you really have no use for. Butter Braid®brand fundraisingis celebrating their 25th year and are a unique fundraiser that families will love to help support your cause with a yummy reward when they do!
EasyPastries – Just thaw & bake!
EasyPastries – Just thaw & bake!Butter Braid® pastries are about the easiest breakfast, brunch, side dish or dessert you can serve. They come ready made and assembledand are stored in the freezer. You’ll pull the pastryout of the freezer just before you head to bed and let it sit out to thaw and rise overnight. When you wake up, it will be like magic – sitting there ready and waiting for you to bake the Butter Braid® pastry.
If you’d rather serve it as an evening dessert or side, just take a pastryout first thing in the morning and bake that evening. You’ll want to allow 10-12 hours for your pastryto thaw and have time to rise before baking.
After baking, you can top with the included white icing or try our almond glaze recipe. It might sound a little strange to use an almond extract, but trust me – it is absolutely amazing and gives the perfect finishing touch to the treat!
Almond Glaze Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- Few drops almond extract
- Approximately a tablespoon of water, added slowly until a smooth consistency
Directions:
Combine powdered sugar, almond extract, and a little bit of water. Stir until smooth, adding a little more water as needed until a smooth consistency. If it’s too thick, add a little more water. If it’s too thin, thicken with additional powdered sugar.
Drizzle across your Butter Braid® pastry.
What are Butter Braid® pastries?
I had never heard of the Butter Braid® brand before they reached out to me, but I’m a big sucker for bread and pastries, so I couldn’t wait to give them a try. I wasn’t disappointed at all!
I had assumed the Butter Braid® pastries would be a flavored bread and was pleasantly surprised to see it comes filled with amazing fillings. We tried their Cherry and Cinnamon flavors and both were so good it was hard to stop eating!
One Butter Braid® pastry easily serves a family or small group. Based on a 2 oz serving per person you can serve 11 people of just one yummy pastry.
We had a hard time deciding in my family which was better – cherry or cinnamon. My boys decided cinnamon was their favorite and my husband and I both liked Cherry best – but they were both amazing! The cinnamon has almost a caramel taste and texture to the filling, but with definitely a cinnamon taste too. They were both so good it was hard not to go back for 2nds (or 3rds!).
We topped our with a homemade Almond glaze, as it’s our favorite, but the Butter Braid® pastries come with their own white icing you can use – you don’t need anything extra to enjoy this amazing treat!
Butter Braid® pastries are layered with fruit or cheese fillings and of course butter. It’s an amazing dessert that’s ready to bake and enjoy, you won’t have to make dough, add in fillings, or anything else.
