How To Make Croissants (With Step-By-Step Photos!)

Making Croissants: Rolling Out The Dough, Part 2
The next morning, the dough looked like this after I took it out of the fridge. Incorporating the butter: 1. Place the croissant dough on a large, well-floured surface. (The recipe recommends marble–and if you have a slab of marble that big, you are SO lucky. Can I come see it?) 2. Roll dough into […]

Or it would leave that greasy film on the roof of your mouth? Remember that? Yeah…that’s why some people claim not to like homemade […]
Four Layer Chocolate Cream Pie
My inspiration for this recipe comes from the good old Four Layer Dessert. (Something deep down inside me was conjuring up my Mormon heritage.) Only I made my own pudding. And I did not (REPEAT: DID NOT) use any Cool Whip. And neither should you. If you do, I will spank you with my giant […]
