Ingredients

For the Croissant Dough:

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 tbsp instant yeast

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 1/4 cups whole milk, cold

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (for laminating)

  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

For the Matcha Pastry Cream:

  • 2 cups whole milk

  • 4 egg yolks

  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 1/4 cup cornstarch

  • 1 tbsp matcha powder

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Blueberry Compote:

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

  • 2 tbsp sugar

  • 1 tsp lemon juice

For Assembly:

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)

  • Fresh blueberries (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Make the Dough: Mix flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add cold milk and knead into a dough. Cover and chill for 1 hour.

  2. Laminate the Dough: Roll out butter into a square. Roll dough into a large square and wrap around the butter. Perform three single folds, chilling for 30 minutes between each. Chill overnight.

  3. Shape: Roll dough to ½ inch thickness and cut into rounds. Place on tray, cover, and proof for 2 hours until puffy.

  4. Fry Buns: Heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry each round until golden brown, ~2 minutes per side. Drain and roll in sugar. Cool.

  5. Matcha Cream: Heat milk. Whisk yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and matcha. Temper in hot milk, return to heat, and whisk until thick. Stir in butter and vanilla. Chill.

  6. Blueberry Compote: Simmer blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice until thickened. Cool.

  7. Fill Buns: Pipe matcha cream into the top of each bun. Add blueberry compote into the center.

  8. Decorate: Top with a dab of cream, compote, and a fresh blueberry. Dust with sugar if desired.

Notes

For best results, chill dough thoroughly between laminations. Use high-quality matcha for vibrant flavor and color. Can be made a day ahead and assembled before serving.
