**Easy Croissants Without Yeast**
Ingredients:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for rolling
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
– 1/4 cup cold water
– 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
2. Add the cold butter pieces to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Slowly pour in the cold water, a little at a time, and mix until a dough forms. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times to bring it together. Shape the dough into a ball, then flatten it into a disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
5. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a lightly floured surface. Roll it out into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
7. Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into long triangles. Each triangle should be about 3-4 inches wide at the base.
8. Starting at the wide end of each triangle, gently roll up the dough towards the point to form a croissant shape. Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
9. Brush the tops of the croissants with the beaten egg to give them a golden glaze.
10. Bake the croissants in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown and flaky.
11. Remove the croissants from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade, yeast-free croissants!
