A butter croissant is a classic French pastry celebrated for its flaky layers and rich, buttery flavor. Made from a dough of flour, water, sugar, salt, yeast, and a generous amount of butter, the croissant undergoes a meticulous folding process to create its signature airy texture. Originating in France, it is a staple of French cuisine and is enjoyed worldwide for breakfast or as a snack. While croissants are a good source of carbohydrates for energy, their high fat content, primarily from butter, contributes to their calorie density. They also contain little fiber or protein, making them less filling compared to other options. It's best to enjoy butter croissants in moderation as an occasional indulgence, paired with nutrient-rich choices like fruit or yogurt to create a balanced meal.
