Butterscotch Croissants

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 200°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   Tip: Use a baking mat for easier cleanup.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar.

   Tip: Use a digital scale for accurate measurements.

3. 3

   Add softened butter and mix until the dough resembles coarse crumbs.

   Tip: Be careful not to overmix the dough.

4. 4

   Add eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until the dough comes together in a ball.

   Tip: Let the dough rest for 10 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.

5. 5

   Roll out the dough to a thickness of 3mm. Cut into triangles and roll into croissants.

   Tip: Use a pastry cutter or a sharp knife to get even edges.

6. 6

   Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet, leaving 1cm of space between each.

   Tip: Make sure to leave space for even spreading.

7. 7

   Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

   Tip: Rotate the baking sheet halfway through the baking time.

8. 8

   While the croissants are baking, prepare the butterscotch filling.

   Tip: Melt the butterscotch syrup in a saucepan over low heat.

9. 9

   Remove the croissants from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.

   Tip: Drizzle with butterscotch syrup while still warm.
