    5. Stack all circles, roll into a large sheet, cut into triangles, shape croissants.

    😳 I took classes… in the last week of earning a “certificate” I was fed up with the so-called chef (and more) and walked. Didn’t get my “certificate”; cried a lot. Your instructions were far different than what I was shown… I’ll give this and others a try… 😊. I made crepes and was successful ( my grandfather—father made crepes for us). I figured I would be good at making your Mexican wraps (?) lol. Loved your video, how you were able to insert text. Wondering how you did it…. I remember your saying you are getting to know YouTube.. my thought was hells bells YouTube opens differently every time and more for me lol, happy everything to you. 😊💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫 and I don’t see the boost/hype button. 🙁.
