How to make canned croissants better? ›

Crescent rolls have a similar crescent-moon shape as croissants, but most aspects of these baked goods are different. Unlike croissants, crescent rolls are not laminated. This makes crescent rolls more bread-like than croissants.

In contrast, store-bought crescent rolls, such as Pillsbury Crescents, can last unopened up to 2 weeks past their expiration date in the pantry and, if refrigerated, 1 week after opening. The preservatives in these rolls help maintain freshness over a longer period when stored properly.

2. They contain trans fat. The downside to using hydrogenated palm oil is that it contains trans fat, which is bad for your cholesterol. It's not so good for your body, which is why you should definitely eat these babies in moderation.

To put it simply, crescent rolls are bread, whereas croissants are pastries. While both recipes result in light, fluffy, and buttery sweet treats, the ingredient lists are noticeably different. For example, croissants typically have milk and substantially more butter, whereas crescent rolls usually have more sugar.

Spread a layer of jam on each croissant and sprinkle generously with chocolate chips. Close the tops of the croissants and brush with maple syrup. Sprinkle with sliced almonds. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, until the tops are golden and the chocolate is melted.

After you get home from Costco, immediately preheat your oven or air fryer to 325°F. Pop a croissant in for about 5 minutes until toasty and flaky. The croissants are limp when you get them, and reheating will make it taste fresh-baked. Cut it open and add jam, a little ham and cheese, or whatever makes you happy.

Your croissants were probably under-proofed. Just let them proof a bit longer so they get wobbly and increase visually in size. When under-proofed the butter tends to leak out from in between the layers and you end up with a butter puddle.
