Today's recipe is another delicious biscuit which is quite popular among kids in India.. It is also a traditional French pastry which is flaky, rich and buttery.. I got this recipe from here and absolutely love it.. The addition of nuts is optional, but so tasty.

Baguette has been on my to try list for a long time now.. I have enjoyed them store bought and have used it for Bruschetta, Garlic Bread..Nice crust outside and chewy inside

Eclairs - from the name of the recipe when I heard from Swathi for this month’s Baking partners challenge, I thought we were going to do an eclairs toffee.. silly me.. I did not know about this very delicate French pastry. Now that I learned it, let me tell you... it is very delicate, little too sweet for me and was actually not very hard to do.. I was very skeptical initially..

A very delicious French pastry which is very famous for its difficulty in doing. It is not common in household for people to bake croissants (even in Paris) is what I have heard unless they join some fun group like us "We Knead to Bake" which was started by Aparna. I was very intimidated by this croissants for a few years and now because of this group, I made it. I have previously watched Julia Child's show where she demonstrates Croissant. I have also seen it on Americas Test Kitchen and Croissants have been on my To-do for quite long now... Finally got to make it!!!!! Am so happy and so thrilled that I could make it at home and I can call it successfully!! A perfect croissant should be soft inside and very flaky outside and I got it!!!! yayyyyy!!!! I have some points to note and some tips that I learned along the way!!!!
