Gotta admit I’m tempted by the fusion, and in the spirit of it, to steer the concept further away from a European style, I’d pair it with matcha ice cream.
Freedom horns!
But half of it is air?
Maybe it’s croissant flavored air?
Always has been.
I’m not mad about the mango filling, but those croissants look really pale
Its so called bicolor croissant that you put tape of colored dough on top of regular dough before forming. Its often intentional to bake regular dough pale to show contrast between the colored dough.
Source: I searched recipe for cacao-colored bicolor croissant but never tried.
Informative comment, thanks!
Man I love croissants, they must be one of my top 5 things to eat. Fresh ones don’t really need anything at all. They’re already buttery. These mango croissants look amazing.
They make a great side for almost anything too. With eggs? Hell yes. With a glass of wine? Duh. Add them to an Irish breakfast with black pudding? Totally works. Cold, on a chicken waldorf sandwich? Of course. With a dollop of ice cream or crème fraîche? If only I could be so lucky.
There’s really no wrong way to enjoy a croissant, unless you’re putting something totally inedible like drain cleaner with it. There are some foods I would never add, like spray cheese or olives, but that’s really just personal preference.
Slather the puff dough in sugar and cinnamon, roll them up, then squeeze them in the middle so that the filling partly oozes out so it can caramelise and crystalise. The best ones are flaky, soggy, and crispy, all in one. Think of it as a cross between a croissant and crème brûlée. Plus cinnamon.
Ugh that sounds incredible. I love cinnamon rolls in the first place, so with croissant pastry, hell yeah.
It’s the butter, butter I’d the secret ingredient LF french cuisine and baking. More butter, put all the butter !
My first time at a French restaurant, the waiter made a joke like that, but it was that everything is full of butter AND cream.
French people wouldn’t mind this and if some did they’d still rather swallow their tongues than admitting that you managed to make them angry.
I’m French, this looks great. A true french reaction would be “uh ! I’ll try it”
Punctuation checks out.
Right?! We’ll be upset only if it tastes bad. Given by how pale they look I’m not confident it won’t.
Why would they croissants aren’t French they’re Austrian but popularized by an Austrian baker in France.
Berlin doughnut croissant?
Would.
What in god’s green earth is this?
I love a croissant with cheese and ham as much as the next guy, but why does the cheese look… foamy? And why is the ham MELTING?? And why is it OVER THE CROISSAINT!!!
It’s lovecraftian…
Am I missing the joke?
Oh god, a crompouce.
You know we should just keep this stuff within the Netherlands. No need to inflict it on other countries :)
Wow, you guys out did the cronut. Impressive, sorta.
« Non mais tu te fous de ma gueule ou quoi!?! Putain mais c’est quoi cette merde!?! »
We got that Tubby Custard grilled cheese jawn up in this bitch
wtf custard with ham on top
These look amazing. Fuck the haters.
Well, last time the French wanted to guillotine someone, they did.
Who gives a fuck what the French think? The origins of the croissant are Austrian.
Hello. I’m Austrian. I approve of mango croissants. We have apricot ones, so why not this.
I bet the apricot ones are amazing
Absolutely! If you want an easy version that’s close to as good, you can cut store bought puff pastry into triangles, spread jam on them, then roll them into crescents and bake. It’s what I do since I’ve gone vegan, since they’re otherwise full of cow butter, and I recommend.
There’s plenty innovative croissant shops in paris too. Bet the threats they received were from “French” Americans.
Or just people with French names who were just being asshats on twitter
The origin sure, as much as bread’s origin is in wheat. Croissant as you know it is French, from Paris specifically. Not that I condone them having some kind of veto on how people get to use this invention now.
No, the shape and most of the composition. The French are just entitled enough to pretend it is theirs. Western European nations seem to like doing this.
What you are talking about is kipferl which is definitely Austrian. But someone took that and made it into something new using yeast-leavened laminated dough, called it croissant, and where they did that was 100% in Paris, France. There is no doubt about it because it happened recently enough. They are absolutely not the same end product and I would be outraged if someone served me half-moon shaped bread roll, which is what the Austrian thing is, while trying to pass it off as a croissant.
Ooh I want to do a guava and cream cheese croissant now.
There is not a single world where the people who sent death threats if they even exist are French. Variations of croissant are also common in France and the one shown above in the picture looks highly qualitative.
Trolls on the other end pretending to be French and outraged, now that seems more likely.
If the croissant variant just looks like shit French people will likely make fun of it. But death threats? Bullshit.
I mean, they could be French trolls, I’d wager that French trolls would be even more likely to do this.
So it’s not just us Italians
What’s the big deal?
Food purists would have you believe there’s specific ways you have to make foods so they are correct. Like croissants are only supposed to have butter, puff pastry and water. Pizza is only supposed to be fresh soft mozzarella, crushed tomatoes, and basil. Steak should only have buttery, thymey pan sauce on it. Deviations are an affront to their culture and an insult to their ancestors.
The correct way is however you like, whatever tastes good to you, whatever you’re willing to pay for, and if you run a business, whatever sells.
I like my fried eggs on toast with cream cheese, honey and paprika. I like my pizza made ultra thin on tortilla wraps with salami, sweet potato and anchovies. I like my banana bread with choc chips AND dried cranberries. Other people are gonna like their food in different ways or even hate it my way, and that’s okay.
I thought classic steak was salt and pepper?
I’ve been dishonhouring my ancestors this whole time!
But is it mango specifically or any fruit croissants? Strawberry croissants are pretty common around here but I’ve never been to France to know if it’s common there too
I don’t think fruit croissants would go over well with The French. It has to be butter or nothing.
If you’re very lucky they will put chocolate in it but then insist it’s now somehow a different product.
French guy here. Multiple bakery already make strawberry croissant around here and none of them being burn to the ground. Be aware that most of French are troll when talking about food, the other part are mostly alt right who’s seeing cultural invasion in EVERY FUCKING THING. Enjoy your croissant as it is (except if it’s not buttery and hot wtf is wrong with you)
It sounds gross, but it looks like they are made well and they probably know more about flavor profiles than I do, so I’m not against it in theory. Would probably not order it myself, but I’d have a bite of my friends if they offered, at least for novelty sake.
