2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Why do you need to divide the cream?
Good question but I’m thinking you need to keep a little out to use to brush the tops of the dough and help keep the sugar in place. And/or because depending on temps and humidity you may not need all of the cream to bring the dough to the correct level of moistness? Sounds like two good reasons to me from baking other dishes.
