There are few things that I love more than a delicious pastry, but I have lacked the courage to try to make them until recently. I was looking around, and I came across this recipe for authentic croissants. The reviews talked about how delicious they were and how surprisingly easy they were to make. So, I decided to give the recipe a shot and figured at worst case, I could still do something with the dough. Well, to my delight, they turned out splendidly. They were beautifully colored, had the trademark layers of a croissant and they were so light and fluffy.
The croissants were everything that I had hoped they would be! Now for the recipe. Please do not be scared away by how "long" they take. While the recipe does require three days for you to wait, it does not require three days of work. On the first day you simply mix the ingredients. On the second day, you just roll the dough, and on the third day you do one more rolling and you bake. Within moments on that third day is when you will realize that all of the "work" was worth it.
I really hope you try these; you won't be disappointed if you do! Since the directions are a little longer, please find the recipe here, at Fine Cooking. It has very detailed pictures, directions and even a powerpoint in case some of the wording is confusing... it's very fool proof!
