Howdy all,

 I recently made some yummy croissants from scratch. Yes, it is time consuming and a bit nerve-racking, but soooo worth it. There is nothing more satisfying than a warm, fresh from the oven, honey smothered croissant. You guys should give this a try and just blow your wimin's minds.

Here's my results:

Start with ALOT of butta, good quality butter please. Work it in to a nice square and put in the fridge.

Next comes the dough. It has to rest in the fridge for one hour.
