Yeast croissants
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. You'll see that yeast croissants are easy to make. I recommend making the dough a bit sweeter than usual, since the croissants won't have cream or jam inside. Serve yeast croissants with ice cream or jam, whichever you prefer. But if you have many sweet lovers at home, you can sprinkle the croissants with sugar or drizzle with cream before baking. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
