Butter croissants, a staple of French patisserie, are flaky, golden pastries renowned for their rich, buttery flavor and delicate layers. Traditionally made from a laminated dough containing flour, butter, sugar, yeast, and milk, their iconic structure is achieved through meticulous folding and rolling to create thin sheets of dough separated by butter. Originating in Austria, the croissant evolved into its modern French form in the 19th century and is now enjoyed worldwide. Nutritionally, butter croissants are an indulgent treat, offering a moderate amount of carbohydrates and fats, with some protein from the flour and milk. The butter content contributes to their high calorie count and saturated fat levels, making them less suitable for regular consumption when managing heart health or weight. However, they can provide a quick energy boost and are a delightful source of comfort with their light, airy texture and satisfying flavor.
