My First Croissant Adventure: A Rollercoaster of Butter and Hope
I never thought I’d spend my entire Saturday wrestling with dough, but here we are. Inspired by a late-night binge of French baking videos, I decided to make croissants from scratch. The process? Grueling. The butter kept escaping, my kitchen looked like a flour tornado hit, and I questioned my life choices at least a dozen times. But as the golden layers puffed up in the oven, my exhaustion melted into pure anticipation.
When I finally took that first bite, it wasn’t just flaky pastry—it was pride, relief, and a tiny bit of disbelief. I FaceTimed my mom to show off, and she laughed at my flour-streaked face. These croissants aren’t perfect, but they’re mine. If you’ve ever felt intimidated by a recipe, trust me: the mess is worth it. Sometimes, the best comfort food is the one you make yourself, mistakes and all.
