Butter Croissants
There are so many foods in life that are tonnes better made from scratch - chewy, flaky, buttery croissants is one of them. Well worth the effort.
OK. You know me and butter...right? You butter believe it! Well, I may or may not admit to serving these buttery, flaky croissants with more butter on the side. Or Va Va Voom Vanilla Strawberry Jam... Or just a big ole melted hot chocolate, (viva la France!) there’s no time like the present, to present yourself with some of these...worth every bit of effort. I promise.
