 Categories: Breads
      Yield: 24 Servings
 
      1 c  Warm milk
      1 ts Sugar
      1 tb Yeast
      1 c  Flour
    3/4 c  Milk, room temperature
  1 1/2 ts Salt
    1/4 c  Sugar
      1    Egg, beaten
    1/2 c  Butter melted and cooled
      4 c  Flour
      1 c  Cold butter
      1    Egg, beaten with cold water
 
  Stir warm milk and sugar together.  Add yeast.  Let stand 10 minutes.
  Stir well.  Add flour; beat well. Add milk, sugar and egg. Beat until
  smooth. Add butter; beat and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, place
  the 4 cups of flour and the chilled butter.  Cut butter into flour
  until pieces are the size of beans (not too small). Pour the liquid
  batter into the flour mixture; stir until moistened.  Cover the bowl
  with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  Remove from refrigerator. Press into a compact ball on a floured
  board and divide into 4 parts. Roll each into a circle 12" or 16".
  Cut each circle into 6 or 8 pie-shaped wedges.  For each croissant
  roll a wedge towards the point. Shape into a crescent and place on
  ungreased baking sheet.  Let rise at room temperature until doubled.
  (May take 2 hours or more). Brush each with egg beaten with cold
  water. Preheat oven to 400 F. Place croissants in oven. Lower
  temperature to 350 F and bake for 15 - 20 minutes until golden. Makes
  24 - 32.
