Bonne journée du Croissant!

Celebrate International Croissant Day the French Way! 🥐🇫🇷

Golden, flaky, buttery perfection—there’s a reason the croissant is a beloved icon of French pâtisserie! And what better day to indulge than International Croissant Day? On 30th January, we invite you to embrace the joy of this delicate, delicious pastry and enjoy a little taste of France, wherever you are.

A Bite of History

Despite being the quintessential French pastry, the croissant’s origins actually trace back to Austria! The story goes that after a victorious battle against the Ottomans in the 17th century, Viennese bakers created a crescent-shaped pastry, inspired by the Ottoman emblem. The buttery, layered version we adore today? That’s thanks to the French, who perfected the recipe in the 19th century, giving it its famous flakiness through the art of laminating dough.

The Perfect French Breakfast

In France, breakfast is often a simple yet elegant affair, and a freshly baked croissant is at the heart of it. Pair it with a café au lait, a touch of apricot jam, or enjoy it plain in all its golden glory. Simple, effortless, and utterly delicious.

How to Celebrate International Croissant Day

Why not make this day an occasion to savour? Here are some ideas to mark the moment:

🥐Visit a French bakery – Seek out an authentic boulangerie and treat yourself to a freshly baked croissant. Bonus points if it’s still warm from the oven!

🥐Try your hand at baking – While making croissants from scratch is a labour of love, the reward is well worth it. If you’ve ever wanted to master the art of lamination, today’s the perfect excuse.

🥐Elevate your brunch – Serve warm croissants with French butter, homemade jam, and a pot of tea for a leisurely, stylish breakfast. Add some Brie or a drizzle of honey for an extra indulgence.

🥐Style a Parisian-inspired table – Set the scene with Malmaison’s French table linens and elegant serveware, transforming your breakfast into a celebration of French joie de vivre.

A Taste of France at Home

Even if you can’t make it to Paris, you can still bring a little French charm to your home. At Malmaison, we celebrate the beauty of effortless French living—whether it’s in the way you style your table or the small, everyday moments that bring joy. So this International Croissant Day, pour yourself a café, take a bite of that golden, buttery goodness, and embrace the simple pleasures of life.

Bonne dégustation! 💛
