butter croissant

Laminated breakfast crescent

A butter croissant is a crescent-shaped French pastry made with laminated dough—layers of butter folded repeatedly into the dough to create a flaky, rich texture.

The term distinguishes it from croissants made with margarine or other fats, emphasizing traditional preparation: The bakery charges more for butter croissants, but they're worth it.
