Tequila Croissants
The croissant is a classic French pastry that has been adapted in numerous ways over the centuries.

Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Lightly flour a surface, unfold the puff pastry, and cut it into equal-sized triangles.
3
Melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave. Stir in the butter, tequila, and finely grated lime zest until smooth.
4
Spoon a small amount of the chocolate-tequila filling onto the wider end of each pastry triangle. Roll them up into croissant shapes.
5
Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down to prevent them from unraveling during baking.
6
Whisk together the egg yolk and milk. Brush the mixture over the tops of the croissants to create a beautiful golden-brown color.
7
Bake the croissants for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
8
Let them cool slightly on the baking sheet, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
