Step-by-Step Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Whisk to combine.
2
Add the softened butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry blender or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3
Add the beaten eggs and lukewarm milk to the flour mixture and stir to combine. The dough should come together in a shaggy mass.
4
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10-15 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
5
Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1/4 inch and use a pastry cutter or a knife to cut the dough into long, thin triangles.
6
Roll each triangle into a croissant shape and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Curve the croissants into a crescent shape and press the edges together to seal.
7
Bake the croissants in a preheated oven at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
