The Viral Sensation: Rice Paper Croissants

Step-by-Step Guide to Crafting Rice Paper Croissants

Materials Required:

- Rice paper rounds (10-12) - Butter (softened) - Cream cheese (softened) - Sugar (to taste) - Cinnamon (optional) - Egg wash (1 egg mixed with 1 tbsp milk)

Instructions:

1. **Prepare the Filling:** In a bowl, whisk together softened butter, cream cheese, sugar, and cinnamon (if desired). 2. **Assemble the Croissants:** Place a rice paper round on a flat surface. Spread a thin layer of the filling on the round, leaving a small border. 3. **Roll and Shape:** Starting from the wide end, tightly roll up the rice paper round. Curve the ends slightly to form a crescent shape. 4. **Brush with Egg Wash:** Brush the surface of the rice paper croissants with egg wash to help them retain their shape and achieve a golden-brown color. 5. **Bake:** Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the rice paper croissants on it. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Tips for Success:

- Remove the croissants from the oven immediately to prevent them from burning. - Let them cool slightly before serving to enhance their texture. - Serve with your favorite dipping sauces or toppings.
