Rice Paper Croissant
This fun concept originated from a Tasty Japan video that turns simple rice paper into a flaky croissant, and the results look unreasonably convincing. It has a crispy outer shell with a mochi-like interior. Traditional croissants can take 2-3 days to make, but you can make these rice paper croissants in under an hour (and it's gluten-free).

- Preheat oven to 350F (175C)
- In a bowl, make an egg wash by mixing together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, melted butter, cinnamon, and baking powder until well combined.
- 2 eggs (100 g)
- 1/4 cup milk (60 g)
- 1 1/2 tbsp sugar (18 g)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (2 g)
- 1 tbsp butter, melted (14 g)
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon (0.50 g)
- 1/4 tsp baking powder (1 g)
- (Optional) Transfer egg wash to a plate or wide sheet pan to make dipping rice paper easier.
- Individually dip 3 rice paper sheets into the egg wash (for only about 5 seconds until just covered) and stack them on top of each other.
- 3 rice papers (15 g)
- Cut the stacked rice papers so that the center is in the shape of a triangle. Like this: (/_\)
- To form the "croissant", start by placing one side of the cut rice paper directly on top of the triangle rice paper.
- Then, place the last side of the rice paper horizontally along the bottom of the triangle rice paper.
- Now, roll the rice paper from the bottom towards the top to form a croissant shape.
- Place the rice paper on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and sprinkle sugar on top of the rice paper croissants.
- 1/2 tbsp sugar (6 g)
- Bake at 350F for 30 minutes or until they are golden and puffy. Enjoy!
