Ingredients

• 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Unroll the puff pastry sheets on a clean, floured surface. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to divide each sheet into 6 equal triangles, for a total of 12 triangles.

Step 3

Melt the unsalted butter and brush a thin layer over each triangle, then sprinkle each with granulated sugar for a touch of sweetness.

Step 4

Starting from the wider end of each triangle, roll the dough toward the pointed tip to form the classic croissant shape. Place the rolled croissants on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 1 inch apart.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Lightly brush this mixture over the surface of the croissants for a golden finish when baked.

Step 6

Bake the croissants in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are puffed up and golden brown. Remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.

Step 7

While the croissants cool, prepare the frosting: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and glossy. Add more milk if the frosting is too thick, a teaspoon at a time.

Step 8

Once the croissants are cool enough to handle, drizzle the frosting over the top of each croissant using a spoon or a piping bag for a more decorative look.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
