Butter. Lots of butter.
Come back in about 2 days for a post about homemade croissants. Making these croissants occupied a lot of my weekend so I don’t really feel like talking about them anymore today. Maybe tomorrow?
In case you were wondering: Yes, all 5 sticks of butter in the picture were used for the croissants. Yes, this is an obscene amount of butter. Yes, this is an unhealthy amount of butter. Yes, butter is probably going to kill me (if bacon doesn’t get me first). And yes, they are delicious.

Hi Melissa,
We made croissants at home this weekend too and posted a video:

Okay, of all the pictures on tastespotting, the one of a mountain of butter caught my eye first. I had no idea what recipe it went with, but whatever it was I wanted to eat it! I’m coming back for croissants!
Great blog by the way, I’m dying to make the PB butter cream as well- just added you to my blog roll!
