buttery
Like flaky croissants
Buttery describes something containing, resembling, or spread with butter: buttery croissants, a buttery sauce.
The word extends to textures and flavors that evoke butter's richness and smoothness: a buttery chardonnay, buttery soft leather.
As a noun, a buttery is a room for storing provisions, especially in British colleges and universities.
