While most of us know the croissant as the ultimate French pastry, it actually originated in Austria under the name “kipferl” and has a very colourful and indeed, multicultural past.
At its most basic level, the frugal kind of breakfast pastry is made from flour, yeast, butter, milk and salt. Today, the croissant has become more sophisticated, influenced by the cuisine style of its country.
Regardless of their origins, croissants are indeed delectable, and these two popular Dubai cafes are offering a selection of croissants to satisfy every craving on International Croissant Day – January 30.
