Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
- 1/4 cup cold cream cheese, cubed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar.
- Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut in the cold butter and cream cheese until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the cold water and stir until a dough begins to come together.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to your desired thickness. Then, cut into triangles.
- Starting at the base of each triangle, roll them up towards the point to form the classic croissant shape.
- Place each rolled croissant on a prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with beaten egg for that golden finish.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Notes
For flakier results, ensure butter and cream cheese are very cold before mixing. You can substitute whole wheat flour or use dairy-free alternatives.
