Perfection

Another of my food goals for 2018: Perfect my croissant technique.

I've made...I don't even know.  Dozens of recipes, with varying results.

At last, I found THE PERFECT ONE.  Aptly titled 'The Best Croissants', this recipe from Saveur was everything I wanted in a pastry.

Because I made mine a slightly different size, they came out a smidge darker than ideal.

That did not stop anyone in this house from devouring them.

And by 'devour', I mean meticulously deconstructing each croissant, unwrapping layer by flaky layer, until only crumbs were left.
