These look amazing. I have always wanted to try and make them but I've been intimidated by the supposed difficulty and the time investment. What recipe did you use? How difficult was the process?

Google - "French croissants Joy of Baking" and she has a video of the recipe I use. It's not difficult but it is time consuming like with anything practice makes perfect. Give it a shot sometime. Worse things thst happens is you waste a cup of butter and some flour.

French croissants prepared over 3 days. Dough gets a 24 hr cold ferment before laminating with the butter. But there is nothing like it.
Half a dozen went to my parents and half to an elderly neighbor. The best part of baking is sharing.
Totally agreed. They are stunning! I have been meaning to make them for ages now, but just haven't brought myself to make the time commitment.
Thanks for the kind words internet stranger.
