Croissants

I made croissants this morning, my first ever foray into the pastry world, normally the domain of my wife. You’ll have to trust me that they were a lot better than they look. It’s 9 pm now and I’m finally recovering from a croissant induced coma.

There are some other cool things you can do with laminated dough. I’ll try fruit Danish next time and maybe pick a day when I don’t have to drive or otherwise be functional.

I’m wondering if it would be valuable to shoot a video to demonstrate how this novice can klutz his way through a challenging recipe and still achieve praise worthy results.

Next time I’ll work on the presentation. I thought that part would be sort of easy. Boy was I wrong… as you can see.
