“Starbucks” Butterhorns

I have loved butterhorns for years, especially the ones from Starbucks.  Probably because of all that butter and cinnamon.  They are flaky, buttery, sweet, and pie-crusty.  What’s not to love about them? But I had never tried making them before today.  Shout out to my faux-cousin Lauren and also to Facebook’s “On this day” app… Continue reading “Starbucks” Butterhorns
