What is a French food called crescent?
A buttery pastry shaped into a crescent and baked. Loaded with butter, it is rich and flaky. Should be golden brown when done, can only be made with yeast-based French pastry. Can also be used for pain au chocolat, a favorite of children. It is wrapped around a square or slices of chocolate. Good bakers dip the top in butter and sugar and then bake it. It usually is served warm. Microwaving ruins pain au chocolat and croissants. Croissants can be wrapped in a damp cloth and warmed up in the oven or brushed with butter and wrapped in foil and then warmed up. Pain au chocolat can be warmed up slightly in a toaster oven for two minutes.
