As a person living with celiac disease for 11 years... you don't realize how much you've just rocked my world. I haven't had a croissant in over a decade... This is... I can't even. I am making these today. There will probably be tears.
I'm sure the limitations imposed due to celiac disease make life complex, but I don't think this resembles a croissant. Other than the shape and colour after baking, it has nothing in common with the French bakery wonder.
Okay, but moderate your expectations, because it sounds like what you get is some of the chew and mouth feel of a wheat flour based croissant, but not the taste. I'd hate for you to be disappointed.
as another celiac who hasn't had a real croissant in a decade, i am so excited to try this as soon as i get more rice paper. i wonder if adding some instant yeast to the egg and milk mixture will give it a more bakery kind of taste? i'm almost crying thinking of eating my favorite pastry again, even if the texture is a bit different
i love how many gluten free people are excited for this recipe, i'm for sure going to be trying it out for my celiac partner! it sounds so good! i was thinking- it might be nice to lean a bit more into a french toast direction with the egg butter mixture, add some cinnamon, maybe a little brown sugar, a pinch of salt for balance.... i think it'd be so good!
You can make an “Inga taste test” series from viral recipes. You have an honest and objective perspective, so that’ll be exciting. You can even invite guests if you want.
I'd like to point out that rice paper / spring rolls wrappers are not all the same. The amount of tapioca / rice flour varies. I made spring rolls today and it was 80% tapioca /8% rice (the rest was water and salt). That's probably going to have a large effect on the crust and chewiness.
Depends on what kind of spring rolls you’re talking about. Vietnamese spring rolls use this rice paper. Chinese spring rolls probably use the wraps you’re talking.
Your videos are so comforting and well made! It gives me the same feelings as talking and listening to an older sister who is exploring and teaching me about new things!
My GF kiddo is going to be so happy to be able to have croissants with us- albeit he won’t know they don’t taste right- if they look that spectacular he will be thrilled.
Honestly, as a person with celiac, looks fun. I wonder if just chucking 1/4 tsp of yeast in the egg mix might add a little flavor? My family always says I’m sorry you have Stockholm syndrome… but, looks more croissant like than any other gluten free option I’ve seen. 🤷♀️
I am the only celiac in my home and they are sometimes making fun of my food choices along the lines of: beggars can't be choosers :-) this recipe falls under that category and I am choosing to try it 😂
I think it probably needs a bit of salt too, even if you use salted butter, a little extra salt can really enhance flavor even if you don't think it "needs" it (the sugar, eggs, milk and butter might seem flavorful on their own, but they could actually be bland without any salt). edit: tried the recipe with a fairly generous pinch of salt, as well as doubled the butter. Was actually very croissant-like, and tasted delicious!
@@BLTkitchen it's essentially baked mochi with layers that's very eggy and veerry crunchy exterior lol. Definitely do not expect it to taste anything like a croissant. My wife and daughter loved it though! Good gluten free snack if that matters. Remember to use the classic round rice paper. Some other versions are either too thin or salty.
@@keibin92 not a Vietnamese citizen but my parents and grandparents immigrated from Vietnam to Europe. So I'm of Viet descent, however my nationality is only European since I didn't bother to get a dual citizenship.
Thanks for the breakdown, Inga! I'm not gluten free, but I have many friends who are. And, in general, a mochi-texture with a choux flavour sounds divine.
I've done something similar, but with some butter and vanilla extract in the egg wash/dip. So it has a custard like taste. Also, instead of dipping the sheets one at a time, taking out, then stacking them, I just put the first sheet in the bath, then the next one right over that, and again, and again, THEN I take the stack out of the bath. Less trails of dripping per sheet is all.
@IngaLam, I had a thought: What might it add to dust the layers with just a touch of self-rising flour? Would that make it more chewy and gluey, or might it help them be more like real croissants? What about other things, like a dusting of wheat bran, or ground flax seed? I think flax would make it gummy. I am going to try doing this with JustEgg Vegan egg replacer, thinned with a bit of plain oat milk, unsweetened, and I won't be doing the sugar and vanilla. I bet the sugar is part of what made these more dense and chewy toward the ends. I have had rice paper sitting in my freezer for months, after trying some Vegan bacon recipes, to greater or lesser success. I don't do a lot of rolled, stir-fried whatever, as it is hard for me to stand long enough to cook. These look very easy, and might help me get some calories in. Thanks for sharing this.
Maybe the Ratio could be altered, to have much more butter, and far less egg/milk. Its likely that there is too much moisture, causing the internals to be too Gummy. Its also possible, that one might lower the temperature, and cook for longer... (and opening the oven a few times in the cooking process, to vent excess moisture in the oven). Finally... maybe use a bit more Salt in the mixture, to help dry the internal layers.
@Johndough8115, @IngaLam. That is what I was wondering as tweaking options. I was thinking either beat the egg(s) more, or use just the whites, or use less egg. Next butter the rice paper, then dip into the egg mixture. Also initially maybe use fewer layers? Thank you so very much for being inspiringly adventurous with croissant options Inga and Thank you John for your thoughts on modifications!! Best to all!!
ok but considering how hard it is to make gf puff pastry, this gives me ideas! (like is there a reason they didn't stick with cold butter in the recipe to make it more like actual puff??) (considering its already so -not- croissant-y, could you use it for things you'd use pillsbury crescent rolls for, like a spinach ring)(if it's like mochi, what about red bean filling....) also the stack looked like new mexican stacked enchiladas lol
Having worked with rice paper a bit I suspect the reason is that even cold butter would make the paper start to melt, so if you want to combine anything else (like annnnnnyything else) you need it to all be one mix, or work really fast. Spreading then having anything else you plan to put on it be sprinkle on, or otherwise be willing to drizzle, would probably work though.
Hot dang, this was the review i needed to convince me to make this thing!! I was interested to try but now i know i won't be wasting my ingredients on something i wasn't sure I'd like. Your review and descriptions helped so much - thank youuu!!!! ❤🎉
Yeah, with the liquid component used, I'd expect it to taste kind of like French Toast maybe, a bit custardy. I have everything I need to make this, and I think I want to give it a try!
That was a pleasure to watch and I appreciate the honest appraisal of how it really tastes. I wouldn't have expected it to taste like an actual croissant either but am pleasantly surprised by the result.
Celiac here, haven't tried a croissant for 11 years, nor anything close to a croissant, so I might just try this one for the fun of it and because I have a ton of rice papers. I use them to make burek (balkan pastry with cottage cheeee).
Inga! I have liked and subscribed because I LOVE your voice and personality! You’re such an original! Such a delightful chang from all the robotic people imitating voice control. Looking forward to watching more! 👍🏻✨🔥
@@IngaLam I know it's a bit late but there's a reason we photographers say to not skimp on the tripod and why a certain amount of weight in the tripod is actually a good thing. Obviously your camera and lens is worth a fair bit so it's worth investing in a really stable tripod to keep it all safe as well as being more pleasurable to use.
For us gluten free people we are used to the mochi texture and we don't care at all I'm so making this! I bought like a 4 pack of these wrappers on accident from Amazon once now i have something to make with it LOL
I was thinking this might work well with square rice paper. You could just cut it from corner to corner and roll it like a regular croissant. Also, this is gluten free so not bad.
I wonder if you would get a better result by spreading cold butter on the rice paper, before dipping it into the egg mixture? Also, experimenting with making a vegan version of this could be fun.
@@IngaLam Well I would watch it ^^ I'm not a vegan, but I tried making a vegan Tiramisu once and it was a big learning experience! For instance, I never would have thought of using the water from a can of chickpeas as a substitute for egg whites.
I do it with only 3 eggs, it makes it less eggy and still has a similar result. As a gluten free French man, frustrated by 12y without croissants, this did the trick!
🤔 I’m thinking ditch the pseudo croissant 🥐 and work with the rice paper’s attributes. Spread butter on each paper and dip then layer 2-3 and bake whole to get more of the good crispy parts. Layer two baked ones with some cream type filling, or maybe ganache…would be messy to eat but lots of crispy crunch. I’ve had gf croissants and they are ok, but not crispy enough..this might satisfy the need. Or break them apart before doing all this ( a tall order , I know) to make them a little more easy to handle.
Honestly, if you're going for that buttery flavour of a croissant, I wonder if maybe brushing melted butter in between each layer might help out, maybe give it a bit more of a buttery flavour since a croissant dough uses a lot more butter. I think this recipe is overall supposed to be a "quick" croissant hack and, if a cook took a little more time, you might be able to refine the flavour a little bit more.
This morning, I was so excited to see that many gluten-free people love this recipe. I'm definitely going to try making this for my friend who has celiac disease! It sounds absolutely delicious! I’m thinking-maybe tomorrow morning, I’ll give it a French toast twist, dipping it in a butter and egg mixture, adding some cinnamon, a bit of brown sugar, and a pinch of salt to balance the flavors. I have a feeling this recipe is going to be a hit!
Hi Inga Stumbled on your video and I LOVED it! What a super new creative way to use rice paper. Now I have another use besides Summer rolls, can’t wait to try it. Really appreciate your simple clear verbal explanations/directions and video! Thank you!!❤
Probably possible to use dumpling or lumpia wrapped instead. As rice paper naturally becomes stickier when cooked. The lumpia or dumpling skins are more doughy
I had no idea about the rice paper viral thing, but I was mildly curious. What got me to watch the whole video was your personality. So, you know, you've got that going for you. :)
Inga just casually reinventing the wheel, here. If you're saying the interior is chew y like a mochi, that makes total sense, since it's rice dough. That pain au chocolat trial reminded me of one of my favorite pastries in Taiwan, the taro mochi cake (exterior baked kinda like a crumby cake, but the inside is a filling of taro paste with a little mochi ball at the core, so it's like 3 layers of different textures and savors). If you can put your hands on some taro paste or mashed taro, that might be a good alternative to chocolate to try out in your next experiment. Alos, RIP your camera... This 5D surely has helped you go about many years of faithful services and will be fondly remembered.
Yeah, I tried this one RIGHT AWAY, I was so excited....I made 4, 6 x 4 rice papers, felt weird and wasteful already...they looked pretty yes, l was READY. I LOVE mochi - it was fine, but the TASTE is not there and yes, you bite and it goes full stuck together etc. I decided no, not for me...I like having my rice paper for other uses lol using 24 felt weird. I have something to share. If you want a light pastry like buttery treat make Gluten Free flour Yorkshire puddings! They don't have to be used just for savoury meals! Just google that recipe...we discovered it by accident as I make Gluten Free Dutch Baby pancakes and my husband thought, must be able to make Yorkshire Puddings and they rose beautifully in the oven, so easy in muffin tins. Yes, you need oil, but make sure you tip it out and they are light and give me that treat feel, as it is something that us GF peeps NEED.
What would happen if you decreased the egg to two and increased the butter to two sticks and let the butter solidified more so you get bigger pockets of butter? It might be more Croissant like. Also, you should do a cook along of breads? It would be a really good use for sharing what you learned, it your classes.
I really like this idea. I have problems eating gluten, so I can't eat a regular croissant (as much as I would love that), but I also can't eat store bought mochi sometimes because "it may contain wheat" (as much as I would love that too). So this might be a fun workaround for both of those things.
I'll certainly try this for my gluten intolerant kids! And I was thinking, perhaps it would be possible to reduce the egginess by replacing part of the eggs with starch+water?
We tried to make it at home, the croissants were so good ! We used the airfryer and they were very crispy too. The texture was chewier than traditional croissants (I added one or two more layers 😅) and there was this subtle rice flavour, we loved it! Like the asian version of French croissant 😏 Merci beaucoup pour la recette Inga, on valide ! Des bises de France 🥐❤
this sounds like an amazing idea! I wonder how it come out if it was made with a fluffier mix? like a pancake dough? maybe flour, butter and egg like and dip the sheets in that? Not really a croissant either but I bet with some work it can be made into a very tasty/ricey pastry
I would either use a pizza slicer or just cut through the paper as well instead of trying to pick up the wet ride paper, might even be able to use the paper to help roll the croissant similar to a “roll-cake” like a pumpkin roll the stores sell during thanksgiving
Cool. Appreciate the honesty, texture wise. I would say this was a rolled egg and rice-paper pastry. And it cooks up so well. Hope your chef 👨🍳chef 👩🏼🍳 is good with it.
It will be rubbery for sure or just like what you said, it's similar to mochi definitely because mochi is made from rice flour which is the same as rice paper.
I’m diabetic and rice is easier for me to tolerate than wheat. But then you said it’s a mochi texture, which I personally dislike, but it does look like lots of people can have these, which is awesome
I would give this a try, only substitute the egg with water-softening the rice paper, getting any surface water off them, and then dipping them in molten butter. That should be far closer to a croissant.
I have to try this. I have recently had to go gluten free. I don't have Celiac, but gluten sensitivity is real and very painful. Anyone that tells you they buy delicious gluten free bread they can keep it all for themselves. I eat a lot of cornmeal based breads, but I really want to try this. I am not sure about the baking powder. I need to check the label. Thank you for this recipe. You may have just helped lots of people.
i bet it'd be good savory. imagine a char siu filling or har gow filing baked up inside the crispy exterior / chewy /buttery /eggy rice pastry ...you be the 1st to make one please
Last time at store the "rice" paper rounds and squares were of tapioca so wonder if would work. Putting some nuts and raisins or date peices inside or sausage or ... Thanks for showing us !!
Interesting! I think I might try it. It does look tasty, with the right expectation. I expected a total train wreck. How expensive is rice paper? I've seen it at the international market down the street but I never wanted any. I do think the person who figured out how to cut up the circle was a genius!
I’ve noticed this has been viral in social media, it’s gluten freee and easy making. Yet to give a try, I will definitely give a try tomorrow with the recipe you’ve been given. Wonder the sugar can be reduced ? 😅😅😅
I am gluten sensitive. I don't like too eggy food taste so Iam going to try with some alterations. Maybe half egg yolks and then egg whites? Vanilla flavor butter flavor? who knows, lol! Ooh, that French toast angle down below sounds interesting!
The way you try out the trendy TikTok food hacks and share your experience with us is like a guideline - if you approve, we go for it - but the process always looks like fun!
Thanks for the video. Brilliant, healthier, faster to make alternative. I don't think the paper provides any benefit vs just using a cutting board. Stuffing it with stuff increases its possibilities.
uhm, question. what did you do with the leftover milk+egg mixture? i feel like this recepy can be a bit wasteful because i wouldnt know what to do with that leftover
This actually looks pretty easy to make or less intimidating than a real croissant. I'm definitely going to have to try making it for my gluten free husband 😊❤
I wonder about incorporating something like orange marmalade or apricot jam or something like that into it to add some sweet and different texture since it’s not really a croissant but looks like one. That way you can say it’s croissant - Ish and still have something that tastes really good.
Maybe this recipe would work out if you only dipped the top and bottom layers in egg wash and and put a fine layer of cold butter (or shaved butter) between the inner layer. I've made croissant before and came to the same problem of gumminess/stickiness in the middle. Supposing the rice paper puffs and crisps up faster than dough, it might fix the problem. Will give you an update ;)
You are completely adorable and entertaining w/o being over the top - as I am gluten-free for health reasons, this is a fair compromise for me and thanks for the lowered expectation; I can make peace with that.
As a person living with celiac disease for 11 years... you don't realize how much you've just rocked my world. I haven't had a croissant in over a decade... This is... I can't even. I am making these today. There will probably be tears.

I'm sure the limitations imposed due to celiac disease make life complex, but I don't think this resembles a croissant. Other than the shape and colour after baking, it has nothing in common with the French bakery wonder.

I had no idea about the rice paper viral thing, but I was mildly curious. What got me to watch the whole video was your personality. So, you know, you've got that going for you. :)
Inga just casually reinventing the wheel, here.
If you're saying the interior is chew y like a mochi, that makes total sense, since it's rice dough. That pain au chocolat trial reminded me of one of my favorite pastries in Taiwan, the taro mochi cake (exterior baked kinda like a crumby cake, but the inside is a filling of taro paste with a little mochi ball at the core, so it's like 3 layers of different textures and savors). If you can put your hands on some taro paste or mashed taro, that might be a good alternative to chocolate to try out in your next experiment.
Alos, RIP your camera... This 5D surely has helped you go about many years of faithful services and will be fondly remembered.
Yeah, I tried this one RIGHT AWAY, I was so excited....I made 4, 6 x 4 rice papers, felt weird and wasteful already...they looked pretty yes, l was READY. I LOVE mochi - it was fine, but the TASTE is not there and yes, you bite and it goes full stuck together etc. I decided no, not for me...I like having my rice paper for other uses lol using 24 felt weird. I have something to share. If you want a light pastry like buttery treat make Gluten Free flour Yorkshire puddings! They don't have to be used just for savoury meals! Just google that recipe...we discovered it by accident as I make Gluten Free Dutch Baby pancakes and my husband thought, must be able to make Yorkshire Puddings and they rose beautifully in the oven, so easy in muffin tins. Yes, you need oil, but make sure you tip it out and they are light and give me that treat feel, as it is something that us GF peeps NEED.
What would happen if you decreased the egg to two and increased the butter to two sticks and let the butter solidified more so you get bigger pockets of butter? It might be more Croissant like. Also, you should do a cook along of breads? It would be a really good use for sharing what you learned, it your classes.
I tumbled upon a good vlog . I love this and will try the chocolate but less rice paper . Thank you for sharing and it was fun to watch.
Interesting idea, thanks for the honest review ❤
I really like this idea. I have problems eating gluten, so I can't eat a regular croissant (as much as I would love that), but I also can't eat store bought mochi sometimes because "it may contain wheat" (as much as I would love that too). So this might be a fun workaround for both of those things.
I'll certainly try this for my gluten intolerant kids! And I was thinking, perhaps it would be possible to reduce the egginess by replacing part of the eggs with starch+water?
We tried to make it at home, the croissants were so good ! We used the airfryer and they were very crispy too. The texture was chewier than traditional croissants (I added one or two more layers 😅) and there was this subtle rice flavour, we loved it! Like the asian version of French croissant 😏 Merci beaucoup pour la recette Inga, on valide ! Des bises de France 🥐❤
how long in the airfryer, what temperature?
I can't believe it kind of worked! Fascinating 🤷🏽
this sounds like an amazing idea! I wonder how it come out if it was made with a fluffier mix? like a pancake dough? maybe flour, butter and egg like and dip the sheets in that? Not really a croissant either but I bet with some work it can be made into a very tasty/ricey pastry
I would either use a pizza slicer or just cut through the paper as well instead of trying to pick up the wet ride paper, might even be able to use the paper to help roll the croissant similar to a “roll-cake” like a pumpkin roll the stores sell during thanksgiving
Cool. Appreciate the honesty, texture wise. I would say this was a rolled egg and rice-paper pastry. And it cooks up so well. Hope your chef 👨🍳chef 👩🏼🍳 is good with it.
It will be rubbery for sure or just like what you said, it's similar to mochi definitely because mochi is made from rice flour which is the same as rice paper.
Ok! This was interesting and gave me an idea. Might try it over the weekend. Thanks!
Your voice is so pleasant !!
Love it! Genius with rice paper❣️
I knew from the beginning it wouldn't taste like a croissant but your beautiful face and voice kept me here! ❤
@7:24 I bought a croissant earlier today, for “proper comparison”….
Of course :) that’s the only reason 😂
🌝🤫
I’m diabetic and rice is easier for me to tolerate than wheat. But then you said it’s a mochi texture, which I personally dislike, but it does look like lots of people can have these, which is awesome
I would give this a try, only substitute the egg with water-softening the rice paper, getting any surface water off them, and then dipping them in molten butter. That should be far closer to a croissant.
Oh my goodness! This is exciting. I hope it works because if so, I'm making them this week.
I have to try this. I have recently had to go gluten free. I don't have Celiac, but gluten sensitivity is real and very painful. Anyone that tells you they buy delicious gluten free bread they can keep it all for themselves.
I eat a lot of cornmeal based breads, but I really want to try this. I am not sure about the baking powder. I need to check the label. Thank you for this recipe. You may have just helped lots of people.
I’m a simple man… I see a Inga video, I click and am always entertained. 💜
Your makeup and hair are so pretty! And the ‘criceant’ isn’t bad to look at either 😂
i bet it'd be good savory. imagine a char siu filling or har gow filing baked up inside the crispy exterior / chewy /buttery /eggy rice pastry ...you be the 1st to make one please
Last time at store the "rice" paper rounds and squares were of tapioca so wonder if would work. Putting some nuts and raisins or date peices inside or sausage or ... Thanks for showing us !!
That moment where you haven’t even watched the video, but you read the title and you save it because holy smack down I can have a croissant again!
Interesting! I think I might try it. It does look tasty, with the right expectation. I expected a total train wreck. How expensive is rice paper? I've seen it at the international market down the street but I never wanted any. I do think the person who figured out how to cut up the circle was a genius!
I’ve noticed this has been viral in social media, it’s gluten freee and easy making. Yet to give a try, I will definitely give a try tomorrow with the recipe you’ve been given. Wonder the sugar can be reduced ? 😅😅😅
wow nice idea. i will try to only bathe the rice slides in melted butter to remove the egg smell
I just came across your channel and Subscribed 😃🎉 Definitely gonna watch more 🙏 Thanks for Sharing..
I am gluten sensitive. I don't like too eggy food taste so Iam going to try with some alterations. Maybe half egg yolks and then egg whites? Vanilla flavor butter flavor? who knows, lol! Ooh, that French toast angle down below sounds interesting!
This looks absolutely delicious! Can't wait to try making these rice paper croissants myself! 🥐✨
Maybe egg dip the first and last layers, but for the others only brush with softened butter/salt mixture?
The way you try out the trendy TikTok food hacks and share your experience with us is like a guideline - if you approve, we go for it - but the process always looks like fun!
always glad to be of service 🫡
this is wonderful, just need a practical rice paper shape for this. kinda messy but it works to become a baked goods
New innovations are always welcome 👍🏼
Whoa…. My mind is blown!!! I’ll have to make this and see… it’s totally awesome ❤
RIP camera! You fed me well
If you went savory on the custard batter, maybe it would make a fun quiche/savory danish kind of thing?
What if you cut the layers before putting in the egg?
They shatter if you try to cut them when dry
Thanks for the video. Brilliant, healthier, faster to make alternative. I don't think the paper provides any benefit vs just using a cutting board. Stuffing it with stuff increases its possibilities.
uhm, question. what did you do with the leftover milk+egg mixture? i feel like this recepy can be a bit wasteful because i wouldnt know what to do with that leftover
Add flour and make some pancakes 🥞
Make an omelet?
This actually looks pretty easy to make or less intimidating than a real croissant. I'm definitely going to have to try making it for my gluten free husband 😊❤
What an innovation 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Will definitely try it
I wonder about incorporating something like orange marmalade or apricot jam or something like that into it to add some sweet and different texture since it’s not really a croissant but looks like one. That way you can say it’s croissant - Ish and still have something that tastes really good.
Thank you for sharing. I will try it this wkend. Looks good.
Maybe this recipe would work out if you only dipped the top and bottom layers in egg wash and and put a fine layer of cold butter (or shaved butter) between the inner layer. I've made croissant before and came to the same problem of gumminess/stickiness in the middle. Supposing the rice paper puffs and crisps up faster than dough, it might fix the problem. Will give you an update ;)
You are completely adorable and entertaining w/o being over the top - as I am gluten-free for health reasons, this is a fair compromise for me and thanks for the lowered expectation; I can make peace with that.
