The most common and best-recognized ITALIAN breakfast is a COFFEE and a CROISSANT, or “CAFFE`e CORNETTO. “
My children go to Italy every summer to visit their grandmothers. As soon as they get off the plane, they know that the first stop is at a small bar with cappuccino and croissants.
The croissant can be stuffed with custard, Nutella (my children prefer this), and fruit marmalade.
I had some puff pastry in the freezer and thought I’d make croissants for breakfast.
I made pastry cream, and I also had cocoa almond cream. I was missing Italy a bit, so why not make a croissant? Unfortunately, the shape of the croissants didn’t come out as I would have hoped, but they’re still perfect, I promise.
