📖 The Story Behind This Dish

The croissant is said to have evolved in France from the Austrian crescent-shaped kipferl. Folding layers of butter into the dough creates its many crisp, flaky layers. In France, a croissant with a café au lait is the everyday breakfast.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a French morning, people line up outside the boulangerie for fresh croissants.
