Vanilla Croissants
Votes: 3
After mixing the flour, butter, eggs, sugar, and vanilla, roll the dough into a long log before cutting and shaping it into croissants. If you're making croissants for the first time, or if you're making them with children, don't worry if your crescent moons end up looking more like suns, stars, or other celestial objects. They'll still be delicious.
