Rice paper is mainly associated with spring rolls and wontons but can also create a delicious dessert. Although this twist might sound improbable since croissants are typically made with puff pastry, it works surprisingly well.

This trend is taking over international TikTok accounts, so we had to try it in the Pyszności kitchen. While the idea might seem odd, the recipe for rice paper croissants has won the hearts of many internet users and has made a splash here, too.

These croissants are perfect for busy people who don't have time for complicated baking. Though the recipe is simple and quick, it's important to remember that the taste will significantly differ from traditional croissants. Rice paper gives the dish a different texture and flavour. If you enjoy experimenting in the kitchen and are looking for new culinary experiences, the rice paper croissant recipe will appeal to you.

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup of milk
• 2 tablespoons of sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon of melted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
• 6 sheets of rice paper
• sugar for sprinkling

Preparation Method:

Step 1. Crack the eggs into a deep plate, add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Add cinnamon, baking powder, and sugar, and mix well.

Step 2. Dip the rice paper sheets on both sides in the mixture. Lay them out three at a time and divide into three triangles.

Step 3. Stack them as shown in the video or photo below and roll them up to form croissants.

Step 4. Place the croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with sugar and almonds, and bake in an oven preheated to 355°F for 25 minutes. You can serve the finished croissants with jam or chocolate. Enjoy!
