• Ingredients:
  • 1 rectangular roll of puff pastry
  • 1 egg
  • 30g milk (plus extra for brushing)
• Instructions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 175 degrees Celsius and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry on a flat surface and cut it horizontally into 4 equal parts. Then, make two additional parallel cuts to form 8 rectangles.
  3. Rotate the rectangles vertically and cut each into 4 or 5 vertical strips (depending on how small you want your croissants).
  4. Cut each strip diagonally to form two triangles.
  5. Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle up to the point. Brush a little milk on the tip to help seal it.
  6. In a bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and a sweetener of your choice. Dip the croissants in the egg mixture, then drain off the excess using a sieve.
  7. Place the mini croissants on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
  9. Serve your mini croissant cereals in a bowl with milk, just like regular cereal.
