Easy butter croissants

We love croissants, especially the buttery ones. I have always wanted to give them a try but.... Baking a classic French croissant is a multi-day task fit for an experienced baker. Croissant dough gets its many layers as a result of “laminating” the dough. This means we are rolling and folding over and over, giving you many thin layers of dough and butter. As you bake them, the butter melts and gives off steam. This puffs each paper-thin layer of dough up giving your croissants hundreds of buttery layers.
