This is going to be good

April 29th, 2006 Caroline

Tony’s birthday is coming up, so I won’t be changing Ben’s (mistaken) impression of my kitchen duties any time soon. There is a cake to be baked, after all. But before I do that, I thought I’d try something new: chocolate croissants.

Now, I’ve done my fair share of baking; I’m familiar with recipe elements like “the sponge,” “the filling,” of course, or “the crust.” But this one is new to me: “the butter.” The butter. And indeed it is, nearly a pound of it, mixed with half a cup of flour, and kneaded into an already buttery dough. Mmmmm.
