Okay they’re not quite as cubic as I’d hoped, but they tasted good!
Pet tax by my tiny sleepy gremlin, Chichi.

would they make good beignets as well?

It's called Croissant because of the shape. It's an absolute nonsense

Those look great.

If you are a crescent then you are not a cube. And vice versa.

The lack of lamination makes me believe these are just biscuits (scones) with layers.
mrsdowneyjr
How can it be both lacking laminated and layered? It's totally laminated

Squaso? Squarso?

Square crescent?

You have a container labeled "NaCL", presumably this contains chemically pure sodium chloride crystals. You should probably switch to using table salt, or some other salt intended for human consumption, which will also have iodine; iodine deficiency being a cause of intellectual disabilities. Could also include stabilizers and anti-caking agents, making it much easier to use outside of laboratory settings.
alcaray
Some table salt has iodine. Some does not.

What kind of psychopath measures butter in cups instead of weight?

Most good things, like breasts, are measured in cups.
vindik8or
You're lucky when you get a US recipe with cups of butter instead of whatever yeehaw bullshit "sticks" are.
mothmam
1 stick equals 4oz or half a cup.
vindik8or
My favourite part is that US cups aren't even the same as everywhere else. I'm not going to even start on ounces.
Callynd
Everywhere else? How many countries use other cups instead of metric? Just the UK? The UK and Aus? If you're complaining that we use different measurements then the ROW than complaining that other countries also use different measurements than you are used to and then not accepting that the US has multiple times the population of those other countries is just some nonsense.
vindik8or
If it's a popularity contest, we better not check what volume measures India uses.

Our butter is sold in 1 pound blocks divided into 4x individually wrapped ~113g 'sticks' with easy measurement markings on the wrappers, so for big round measurements 1 cup of better = 2 sticks = 8oz = ~227g
vindik8or
I think you misunderstand. I wasn't putting out an open invitation to infect my mind with "explanations" for this obvious nonsense.
Callynd
Stick is standardized, since it's a standard measurement a recipe can use it and you can follow it without any further steps.
cyno01
Yeah, it works out spatially even, 1oz = 1/4 stick = perfect cube, makes everything super simple regardless if a recipe calls for volume or weight, and baking recipes should be by weight, if not ratio. But need 13oz of butter? 3 sticks + 1/4 stick, no real measuring required. But metric vs imperial is here nor there regarding the system, you could do the same thing with slightly larger 500g packages with 4x 125g sticks with metric markings on the wrappers.
Blimjoe
1 stick is ¼ of a block of butter.
vindik8or
Oh cool. So we're explaining the first bullshit measurement with a second bullshit measurement?
cyno01
Its sold in round even 1.0lb packages, everything is fractions of that as just a shorthand, but its all just pounds and ounces. Hate on imperial all you want, but the standardized stick concept is fine. Butter is sold everywhere else in 500g packages, almost the same total, but its in a big brick so if you want 200g butter you gotta break out a ruler or scale. If you had prequartered butter itd be 1 and 3/5ths 125g sticks.
Blimjoe
You mean explaining the regional difference by contextualising it against a product that is available in almost every single country that consumes butter? Or are you being needlessly oppositional and kind of a dick?
vindik8or
I can assure you that "a block" is not a standard measure that is available in most of the rest of the world. Right now in my fridge I've got two "blocks" of butter from the same brand that are 400g and 250g. If I go with a different brand, they'll have different sizes again for a "block". And having sensible, standard units of measure makes that a non-issue everywhere except that one place that puts unique measures for single ingredients in recipes as a normal practice.
