French delicacy
A croissant is a popular Parisian pastry made from puff pastry shaped into a crescent. Traditionally, it is without filling, although nowadays, you can find croissants filled with chocolate, various jams, creams, and even glazes and sprinkles.
The first official recipe for croissants dates back to 1839. It is believed that the author is August Zang, the owner of a Viennese bakery on rue de Richelieu in Paris.
