PEAR BUTTER OR APPLE BUTTER DOUGHNUTS
I made some pear butter this year for the first time and had found this apple butter doughnut recipe so thought I would try it with the pear butter. Use your holdiday cookie cutters to add a little seasonal flair to them. To give credit to the person this recipe came from was Mary June Donavan in Clinton Mass. Thanks Mary June...

Summary
*** 1. **High-quality ingredients:** Use unsalted butter that has a fat content of at least 82%. This will ensure that the butter is flavorful and will not burn easily. All-purpose, unbleached, or bread flours are all good options for croissants. Whole milk will help to make the croissants richer and more flavorful. 2. **Laminating the butter:** This is the key step in making croissants. The butter is spread onto the croissant, then folded and refrigerated. This process is repeated several times, creating many thin, alternating butter and pastry layer. This is what gives croissants their flaky texture. 3. **Chilling the croissant:** The croissant must be chilled several times during the process. This helps to keep the butter from melting too quickly, which would prevent the croissants from puffing up properly. 4. **Baking the croissants:** Croissants are typically baked at a high temperature for a short period of time. This helps to create a crispy crust and a soft, flaky interior. 5. **Serving the croissants:** Croissants are best served warm, as this is when they are at their flakiest. They can be enjoyed on their own, or with butter, jam, or other fillings. ***Conclusion
*** * Croissants are a delicious and flaky pastry that can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or a special occasion. While they can be time-consuming to make, the effort is worth it. * With a little practice, you can make croissants at home that are just as good as the ones from your favorite bakery.
