Everybody knows the value of Home made food. But can we really keep ourself at bay from burgers, pizza for a long time? 
To put an end to this dilemma, I'll show you to make good quality homemade croissants, which are buttery, flaky and too yummy to gratify your cravings. 

This recipe of mine comprises of easily available ingredients. It takes a little bit of time, efforts and patience to make Croissants, but are totally worth it. 

So will not waste anymore time and start with the recipe and procedures.

butter                120 gm
egg                    1 no.

6. Cut it into 3 uneven portions. Roll the smallest portion and place it on the second largest portion, roll it and place it on the largest portion. Then seal the sides of the rolled  dough and wrap up in the damp cloth.











7. Keep it in the freezer for 20 minutes or till the fat solidifies.
8. Remove and roll it in the rectangular and turn it in the shape of croissants. 







9. Place them on the grease tray and cover it with the damp cloth till it becomes light to touch.
