Organic Butter Croissant

What is it?

Flaky, layered pastry made with organic butter, baked until the centre stays soft and the edges pick up a golden colour. It's served warm and comes plain, with no filling or glaze. Compared with the more heavily filled pastries in the range, this one stays close to the basic croissant format, all shatter and soft crumb, with the butter doing most of the work. Organic butter tends to have a slightly richer, more cultured flavour than conventional, which shows up in the pastry's aroma and taste. Expect visible layers when you tear it open, with a pillowy interior that contrasts nicely against the crisp, papery shell. Best eaten fresh and warm before the texture starts to lose its edge.
