  1. This is by far the best recipe that I have used. Absolutely delicious and great results.
    Some slight changes- After the final turn we left them in the fridge overnight, the cut and proofed for three hours prior to baking. We also cut them into smaller portions and put them in tall cupcake tins to make “Cruffin” like product. Way better than any croissant recipe I have used.
    We added a lemon custard cream after… so good
