{table for two | recipe : flakey & buttery croissants}
Wednesday 21st August, 2013
One of the things that you can’t help but miss about France is the smell of freshly baked bread and pastries wafting leisurely through the narrow streets. It welcomes you at the earliest hours in the morning and manages to bring some warmth and cosiness to an otherwise gloomy an rainy day . . .
If you are not living in the French countryside or la capitale, finding the perfect flakey and buttery croissant can be quite an undertaking. Quite a few disappointments have probably marked your search and you felt more and more deeply for Monsieur Swan and his eternal reminiscence of the madeleine.
If you still find yourself daydreaming about this pastry, you will probably not shy away from the thought to take the matter into your own hands and kitchen. Probably even more so when I say to you that the ever so lovely food blog Top With Cinnamon offers a step to step guide of how to make the perfect croissants right here. —Marzena

One of my favorites for an early morning weekend, cream butter, a warm croissant and strawberry jam! Yummy! Have to take a look at that food blog. Would love to try (if i ever find the time to do) to make my own croissants.
this look so amazing!! i am unfortunately not blessed with any kitchen talent, but this makes me want to put my limitations aside and give making little buttery croissants a try.
good idea!because..I love France:)
