I gave up on folding and just rolled up a couple dozen croissants. They're chilling in the fridge now. I even made some frangipane and put some almond in half a dozen of them...
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Mmmmmm, homemade croissants. The last time I attempted them I cheated by chilling them in the freezer for 20 minutes in-between folds (instead of an hour in the fridge). It seemed to work just fine!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
OMG I forgot the salt in the dough!
Not as bad as when I forgot the eggs in the batter for Emmett's birthday cake.

I wouldn't have survived the first day!
Fortunately the attendees were all 9 year old boys so they didn't care as long as it had frosting.
It completely fell apart without eggs, of course.

She really is.
I set aside half the dough; I wonder if I can sprinkle salt in between the layers and do a few more folds...

That sounds like it could be extra amazing.

Is the butter salted? Honestly, I could see the croissants being fine minus the added salt, depending on toppings, filling. They're all about the butteriness.
Oh, I've not told you about my new favorite market treat: spinach & feta croissant. It's glorious. And the Pumpkin tries to steal it from me.
I got about an hr reprieve between the migraine painless thing and a massive sinus headache, so that was fun. I'm blaming hormones and the weather being unsettled (chance of thunderstorms tonight. & it was in the 60s.)
