- • Chilling the dough for at least 2 hours to develop structure.
- • Cooking the prune filling to a thick, glossy consistency (no excess water).
- • Freezing assembled crescents briefly before baking to maintain shape.

Safety Warnings
- • Hot saucepan and boiling filling can cause burns; use oven mitts.
- • Sharp wheel cutter or knife – cut away from your body.
- • Hot oven – use heat‑proof gloves when handling trays.
