Ingredients
1 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
Three tablespoons warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
One teaspoon white sugar
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
Two teaspoons white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2/3 cup warm milk
Two tablespoons vegetable oil
2/3 cup unsalted butter, chilled
One egg
One tablespoon water- Directions
- Combine yeast, warm water, and one teaspoon sugar. Allow the mix to stand until creamy and frothy.
- Measure flour into a mixing bowl. Dissolve two teaspoons sugar and salt in warm milk. Blend into flour along with yeast and oil. Mix well; knead until smooth. Cover, and let rise until over triple in volume. Deflate gently, and let rise again until doubled. Deflate and chill 20 minutes.
- Massage butter until pliable, but not soft and oily. Pat dough into a 14 x 8-inch rectangle. Smear butter over the top two thirds, leaving 1/4 inch margin all around. Fold unbuttered third over middle third, and buttered top third down over that. Turn 90 degrees, so that folds are to the left and right. Roll out to a 14 x 6-inch rectangle. Fold in three again. Sprinkle lightly with flour, and put the dough in a plastic bag. Refrigerate 2 hours. Unwrap, sprinkle with flour, and deflate gently. Roll to a 14 x 6-inch rectangle, and fold again. Turn 90 degrees, and repeat. Wrap, and chill 2 hours.
- To shape, roll dough out to a 20 x 5-inch rectangle. Cut in half crosswise, and chill half while shaping the other half. Roll out to a 15 x 5-inch rectangle. Cut into three 5 x 5-inch squares. Cut each square in half diagonally. Roll each triangle lightly to elongate the point, and make it 7 inches long. Grab the other 2 points, and stretch them out slightly as you roll it up. Place on a baking sheet, curving slightly. Let shaped croissants rise until puffy and light. In a small bowl, beat together egg and one tablespoon water. Glaze croissants with egg wash.
- Bake in a preheated 475 degrees F (245 degrees C) oven for 12 to 15 minutes.

If you’re like me grab already made Biscuits at the store already made such as Pillsbury or Hungry Jack.
Do you remember the slogan for Hungry Jack Biscuits from when we where kids?
Then gobble them up, and the plate comes back for more???
Or for those of us who need more for Breakfast how about some Honey Nut Cheerios?
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie, and David
Yum, I love biscuits. 🙂
