my mom had a few movies that she would watch a hundred times over and over again, this was one of them. seeing you recreate a dish from this movie means a lot to me, and im sure she would have been just as excited as me to see youve made this. thank you for bringing back such happy memories :)

I always appreciate this channel not cutting out the mistakes made during the process. Showing that even the professionals get it wrong sometimes

it truly feels like binging with babish is back with the regular episodes we got and im here for it!

I can’t begin to explain how frustratingly finicky the dough can be when rolling it out with the butter block inside, but your videos really make things look easy! The croissants don’t look like they had any issues rising with the eggs wash on the cut sides. Love your work!

I'm convinced this chocolate croissant can end up the "pain au chocolat" or "chocolatine" debate. By adding another antagonist.

Please make Red Velvet Cupcakes with Ube Frosting from Amphibia episode, "The Core and The King"

Watching french people fight to the death over whether calling this a pain au chocolat or a chocalatine is a sport as old as time.

When I went to France with my family when i was younger we had this bakery that was below our hotel and every morning for breakfast I would get a chocolate crossiant, it was probably the most delicious piece of food i've had to this day, and i had it every day for probably a week. A close second would be stroopwaffles (I don't know if there's a weird spelling or not) that I got hot and fresh in Amsterdam, the cold and stacked storebought versions don't do them justice.

Ohmygod I haven't been this excited over a recipe video in a while!! My sisters and I have seen this movie several times and that croissant scene was always so satisfying to watch

Let's talk about "Pain au Chocolat" in France : very tough subject.
Basically, what we see in the video is a "Croissant au Chocolat" not exactly the same thing as the well know pain au chocolat, that is not folded as a croissant (as we can see further in the video, and they look awesome !).
France is divided between two areas, South-West that calls it "Chocolatine" and the rest that calls it "Pain au Chocolat" : its a very well know little joke-like war between these areas. This joke is sometimes too intense as some people can take it too seriously.
There is a lot of others designations in some regions and I let my comrades tell you what they are.

That was my TedTalks thank you.

Fun fact, but when I worked at Starbucks there was a weird day when the entire system was in French. The register decided to pick a side and decide on "chocolatine" for this pastry. It's a dialectal thing, but ya know, France, so kind of a war.

I'd love to see the team tackle Panettone and/or Pandoro. They're fantastic Italian sweet breads, but most local US bakeries don't make them, so you either have to make it yourself or order it online. You can sometimes find the Bauducco brand in stores, but it's usually sold out.

Loving how regular we're getting Binging episodes, really glad to see Babby doing what he does best! ❤️



PS I hope you all have an amazing day 😄

After watching that movie I had to make these. Using store bought croissant dough and a chocolate bar cut up into slivers, just add some chocolate before rolling. They came out great.

What if you made Triple Krabby Patty with 5 Scoops of Ice Cream from SpongeBob episode, "Drive Happy"?

I always love when the TMNT pizza cutter makes an appearance

There are few greater pleasures in life than a nice cup of coffee and a still warm pain au chocolat

[deanbertelsen]

I'm a simple man. I see a binging or a basics with Andrew and I watch.

[tuturg]

I'm affraid that you misnamed the "pains au chocolat". Their real name is "chocolatine" !

Yes I will die on that hill !
