My first attempt at croissants

For my first attempt at croissants, I used the recipe from Martha Stewart’s Baking Handbook, but this online version explains things a bit better http://www.marthastewart.com/312981/croissants

Beating out the butter packets was the most difficult part for me.  And yes, I did slam the rolling pin down on my finger at one point.

They turned out nice and flaky, though a bit burnt on the bottom.

I’m hoping the tons of oatmeal I consume each year will counteract the amount of butter in one of these things.
