January 30 is called the day of the croissant, otherwise known as the French horn. Although attempts are made to link the history of this butter pastry not only to France, but also to Turkey, Austria and even Poland, but croissants have grown most significantly in the last few decades. They have become an integral part of Western breakfasts and weekend brunches. Lithuania also liked this French delicacy.
When looking for a suitable croissant, you should first of all pay attention to the texture of the croissant, the consistency and fragility of the dough.
