Rule One: Respect the Paper Towel
A paper towel is your ticket to a non-soggy pastry. It wicks away steam like a tiny, absorbent hero. Never skip this step if you value your breakfast.
Rule Two: Watch the Clock
15 to 20 seconds is the sweet spot. Less is more. You can always add time, but you cannot un-cook a rubbery strudel. Patience, grasshopper.
Rule Three: Icing Is Sacred
The icing packet is a post-microwave affair. Warm it with water, not radiation. Drizzle like an artist, not a firefighter.
