Calories 237kcal
Ingredients
- 1 package frozen croissants (Trader Joe’s)
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Follow the package directions for proofing the croissants. Trader Joe’s frozen croissants take about 6 to 7 hours to thaw and proof.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake the croissants for 15 to 19 minutes, until they are fully puffed up and browned.
- While the croissants are baking, place the butter and honey in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently. When the butter melts, turn off the heat. Continue to occasionally stir the honey butter until ready to serve.
- When the croissants have finished baking, remove them from oven. Allow them to cool for 2 to 3 minutes before drizzling the warm honey butter over the warm croissants.
Recipe Tips
- 🥐 Proofing Perfection: Place croissants 2 inches apart when proofing - they'll double in size and need room to expand.
- 🍯 Honey Harmony: Heat honey butter mixture on low heat only until melted - overheating can make it separate.
- ⏰ Timing Truth: Start thawing croissants early in the morning for dinner service - they need a full 6-7 hours to proof properly.
