Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment. Thaw croissant dough slightly, ~5 min, until pliable but still cold.
Step 2
Cut each thawed croissant sheet into 4 triangles (or use pre-cut croissants). Arrange on the sheet pan, spacing 2 inches apart.
Step 3
Whisk egg yolk + milk + vanilla in a small bowl until glossy. Brush over croissant tops, then sprinkle turbinado sugar evenly.
Step 4
Bake 15–18 minutes until deep golden brown and crispy. Edges should look caramelized and smell buttery.
Step 5
While croissants bake, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook 3–4 min until it foams and turns amber; swirl in honey.
Step 6
Remove croissants from oven. Brush warm honey-butter over the tops immediately, then finish with a pinch of fleur de sel. Serve hot.
