Cut each circle into 6 or 8 pie-shaped wedges. For each croissant
roll a wedge towards the point. Shape into a crescent and place on
ungreased baking sheet. Let rise at room temperature until doubled.
(May take 2 hours or more). Brush each with egg beaten with cold
water. Preheat oven to 400 F. Place croissants in oven. Lower
temperature to 350 F and bake for 15 - 20 minutes until golden. Makes
24 - 32.
