Butter Croissant

Butter Croissant

Everyday

A butter croissant is a classic French viennoiserie made from yeast-leavened dough layered with premium butter through a meticulous lamination process. This technique creates its signature airy, flaky texture and golden crescent shape, while contributing to its high saturated fat content and calorie density. Though nutritionally rich in carbohydrates from the laminated dough layers, it is primarily recognized as an indulgent breakfast item best enjoyed in moderation.
