Practice makes perfect
Which means more delicious croissants in the future.

So I have tried HFW's recipe and the pastry looks a bit better.
The first batch was tastey enough but the texture was more brioche like. I only used a small proportion of it so the rest will go to make a baked peach dessert tomorrow night.
With the second batch I think it was all a bit soft but turned out much better cos I only did the turney rolley thing as often as instructed. Had a wee bit of butter leakage bit I reckon we're safe!

Like you say, practice makes perfect and lots of practice makes lots of croissants ;-)

edit: I've just read that lot back and can't believe how middle class I sound!
