In one Instagram reel, a chef (@twaydabae) shows what she did to make the rice paper croissant at home. Following a recipe she saw online, she first breaks 5 eggs into a large bowl. She then adds milk, sugar, baking powder and melted butter. She whisks all the ingredients together and then pours the mixture into a flat baking tray. She dips five rice papers into the mixture until they are well-coated. She stacks them on top of each other and cuts them in half. She then moves the pieces around and rolls them to resemble an unbaked croissant-like shape. She bakes 2 pieces for 30 minutes and later shows us the results.
She is surprised to find that they indeed look like baked, flaky croissants. She does a taste test and concludes that it tastes like mochi. "It's a fun concept. But this cannot be the fluffy layers between a croissant. It's not bad though. It's actually quite tasty." Watch the full video here:
