croissant

A croissant is a type of pastry that's flaky and curved like a crescent moon. It's often enjoyed for breakfast with jam or chocolate.

When people talk about croissants, they usually mean the ones you find at bakeries or cafes. These are buttery pastries that are rolled out, folded, and baked to give them their signature layers. You might see them in a basket on your coffee shop counter, fresh from the oven, or get one as part of a breakfast set with eggs and juice. Some people like their croissants plain, while others prefer chocolate-filled ones – either way, it's a tasty treat that's sure to satisfy your morning cravings.
