Un Croissant, Un Croissant

Hee hee hee, hon hon hon!  (sung to the Le Poisson song from Little Mermaid....no it's never too early for Disney!)

(Wearing a silk scarf for coffee out with the husband beforehand, I kept it on for baking at first.)

So, I began the croissants last night and then let them rise for the 5 hours I slept.  The recipe is from The French Market, so another recipe down.  The process wasn't difficult, a lot of rolling out, folding and letting sit (3 different times).  So while the recipe says it takes 3 hours so much of that is resting.  

Ingredients at the ready.  All weighed out on my handy dandy scale.

Yeast in the center of flour.

Butter patted/rolled out between wax paper.

This took up most of my counter.

Folding the dough into a nice little package.

Ready to rise!

Golden brown, hot from the oven!

I think these turned out fairly well.  They were pretty tasty with coffee this morning, but not flaky enough for me so we will be making the ones from French Women Don't Get Fat next.  I tried these first since the others take a few days to make.  I'll let you all know how it goes!
