Mix all the dough ingredients together in the order listed, IF you're using egg add it in after the flour, mix till combined and knead on a well floured surface for 5-10min. Cover and rest for 60 min.
Add parchment paper to an oven dish.
Once the dough has risen punch it down and shape into a rectangle, roll it out lengthways and sideways to create a rectangle shape.
Spread your softened butter all over, I find it easiest to use my hand. Fold over ⅓ lengthways and then the other ⅓ on top as shown in the video, fold the long rectangle over in half as shown and then start to roll it out as thin as it goes keeping a rectangle shape. Slice down the middle lengthways to create two sides and cut each into little triangles, roll them up into croissant shape and cover and rest for 20 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 180C and mix your yolk with milk (if you don't want to use egg brush with cream of milk) once 20 min is done brush the croissants carefully with the egg mix (they're risen to don't be too hard with them).
Bake for 18-22 min until golden, brush with honey as soon as they come out.
