Ingredients
- 1 can (8 rolls) Crescent roll dough
- 1 (for egg wash) Egg
- 1 tbsp melted Butter
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- For serving Milk
- For dipping Honey or Nutella
Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Pastry brush
- Knife
Instructions
-
Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
What to look for: Oven preheated, sheet lined
Watch out: Parchment prevents sticking on these tiny pieces; Space them out - they expand
-
Step 2: Unroll dough and cut each triangle into small strips, then roll each into a tiny croissant shape.
What to look for: Mini crescent shapes about 1 inch long
Watch out: Keep pieces uniform size for even baking; Tuck the point underneath so it doesn't unroll
-
Step 3: Brush with egg wash (beaten egg + splash of water). Sprinkle with sugar.
What to look for: Glossy, sugar-sparkled tiny croissants
Watch out: Light egg wash coating — don't drown them; Sugar adds the golden crispy exterior
-
Step 4: Bake 8-10 minutes until puffed and golden brown. Let cool 5 minutes.
What to look for: Golden, puffed, flaky mini croissants
Watch out: They're small so they bake fast - check at 8 minutes; Will crisp more as they cool
-
Step 5: Serve in a bowl with milk poured over, or with Nutella and honey for dipping.
What to look for: Bowl of tiny golden croissants swimming in milk
Watch out: Eat immediately - they get soggy fast in milk; Also great dry as a snack
