I started reading the instructions and shopping for ingredients last Sunday and started making them Tuesday, finishing my 1st 1/3 batch on Wednesday. It was a bit grueling at first but then I figured it out. I'm not much on measuring exactly but I did try to conform a bit. <br /><br />My croissants were excellent!
