Ingredients
1⁄2 cup Butter (room temperature)3⁄4 cups Cottage Cheese (small-curd)
1 cup Flour
1⁄4 teaspoon Salt
2 teaspoons Milk
1⁄2 cup Powdered Sugar
Directions
- In a medium bowl, combine butter, cottage cheese, flour, and salt. Shape into a disk, and wrap in plastic; refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a well-floured surface, roll dough out to a 14-inch circle. Cut circle evenly into 8 triangles. Roll each triangle up, from wide end to tip, turning ends of roll in to form a crescent shape. Place croissants 3 inches apart on a rimed baking sheet (to catch any drips); bake 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to wire rack. Cool 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make sugar glaze. In a glass measuring cup, add 2 teaspoons milk by 1/2 teaspoonfuls to 1/2 cup powdered sugar, stirring until glaze is of a drizzling consistency. It should be thin enough to pour while still thick enough to coat croissants.
- Drizzle glaze over croissants. Serve warm, or let cool to room temperature. Store at room temperature in an airtight container, up to 2 days.
