Then I realized the picture was of two different colored ducks!<br /><br />I didn't know that croissants aux amandes were made from day-old pastry! Amazing facts I store away from reading your blog, Ken! Thanks. One day I may have day-old croissants lying around(Not to often)and then I will try this recipe.<br /><br />Mary in OregonMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04911284607089608538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-36740188178224615382011-08-31T07:39:18.481+02:002011-08-31T07:39:18.481+02:00Just to set the record straight, we didn't mak...Just to set the record straight, we didn't make the croissants themselves, just the filling.

We were fortunate...<br />no incidence.<br />I am going to make the almond croissants with the<br />locally purchased croissants<br />that are of a quality for<br />which to die. My Spouse is<br />still trying to convince me<br />they have no caloric burden.<br />I am going to follow your<br />suggestion and make them<br />crusty.

Wonder what people who buy them do with them. (Or maybe I don't want to know.)<br /><br />The food sounds and looks incredibly yummy. Of course, by posting all of this, you have raised the bar for future visitors.
