It’s called a butterfly roll because this pastry is shaped like a butterfly, with four rolls of dough, laced with some type of brown savory paste. (Imagine four flatter cinnamon buns rolled to form the shape of a butterfly.) It’s a secret recipe, so I’m not sure exactly what it is that makes up all this goodness but since I love savory pastries, this one immediately resonated with me. Besides, it has to compete with all the rest of the sweets and doughnuts coming out of the Plant, so it’s gotta be good!
