Private Selection All Butter Croissants
What it is
These are classic French-style pastries made with a rich, buttery dough. The dough is layered multiple times through a process of folding and rolling, creating a flaky texture. They are baked until golden brown, offering a delightful aroma and a satisfying crispness on the outside with a soft, airy interior. The high butter content is key to their distinctive flavor and texture.

To enjoy them at their best, gently warm them in an oven or toaster oven for a few minutes until they are slightly crisp and fragrant. This process enhances their flaky layers and buttery aroma. They can be served plain, with jam or butter, or used to make savory sandwiches. For a sweet treat, they can be sliced and filled with cream or fruit.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to croissants made with margarine or vegetable oil, these all-butter croissants have a richer, more complex flavor and a superior flaky texture. The pure butter creates distinct layers that separate beautifully when baked, offering a melt-in-your-mouth experience.

How to keep the rest
Store any leftover croissants in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, wrap them tightly and freeze them. Reheat gently in the oven to restore their crispness.
