Followed the NYT Claire Saffitz recipe and am happy with them overall, but they just taste so buttery. Is using less butter the move?

    Is this suppised to be a humble brag?? My gawd, it’s *supposed* to taste very buttery.

    I’ve never heard the words less and butter 🧈 used together

    Sorry OP, I’m not sure what your expectations were, but the whole point of laminating the butter into the dough is so you taste the butter.

  11. well, what is a croissant if not a sophisticated butter vessel?

  12. I would spread more butter on them just to be safe

    I guess if you don’t like the flavor, buy higher quality butter. Or don’t make croissants.

    It’s a croissant. That’s what it is. Butter with dough in it. Lol.

    “less butter”……

    These words just don’t make sense together. Is it supposed to be English?
