I got this recipe from a Betty Bossi book, but when I make the croissants they come out like buns, I think it's in the preparation.
I would very much apreciate a recipe that works. Anyhow, here's mine:
500g of Flour
1 packet of yeast approx 10g
50g Sugar
3dl warm milk
250g butter or marge
50g Epifin (don't know what this is)
Then knead everything except Epifin and butter, leave in a warm place for 60 min
knead again and leave in plastic in fridge for an hour
then mix butter with epifin and spread on a baking tray
then flatten dough and place on top
fold dough over and and spread butter on other face then fold over again.
leave in cool place for 30 min
then mix 1 egg yolk with 1tbsp water and bruch on croissants before putting into oven
Could someone please explain to me how to make croissants because I tried this and it did not work!
Thanks
