Croissant

Croissant is an element in Tapestry of Nations.

Description
A croissant is a buttery and flaky pastry well known for its crescent shape. They have been made since the Renaissance, and are a staple of Austrian and French bakeries. Croissants are viennoiserie pastries - meaning they are made from yeast-leavened dough, and that they are "things of Vienna". They can be found around the world - for example, American company Pillsbury sells croissant dough which can be baked to produce fresh croissants.
