Sometimes, bad baking happens y’all. This is definitely one of those times. I’m not at all sure what I did or didn’t do for this to turn out to be such a complete disaster. I followed the directions precisely, hence why I am showing my step by step photos below, heck maybe one of y’all can shed some light on why this recipe went to fug city. Y’all I was so excited to eat this recipe too…I saw it on Pinterest and heard angels sing and was all ‘holy heck, croissants, maple syrup, bacon, browned sugar…perfect!’ My kitchen was filled with all of the amazing and heavenly scents while this was baking and I almost couldn’t wait for it to cool so I could break it up into pieces….. Well my first attempt at breaking it into pieces made me realize that the texture was completely off, super pliable and mushy, sigh. So then I thought I would cut it up with a spatula, nope, didn’t work either. My final and last attempt was to peel off the aluminum foil, yeah that was a big no too. It would not, and I mean would not peel off, and since I just have this weird thing about not eating aluminum foil, I had to throw the whole shebang in the trash. Oh well, such as the way it goes.
oh well, first step in this disaster…
croissant rolled out, pinched seams, and holes poked into it…
Let it cool completely, then the disastrous results…
See, practically super-glued on, and so nice and pliable, blargh…
