The croissant is thought of as French but descends from the Austrian Kipferl. The popular story that it was baked as a crescent after the defeat of the Ottomans in 1683 is unsupported and probably a later invention.

The pastry reached France in the nineteenth century and only became the laminated croissant around 1900. France still distinguishes au beurre, made with butter and usually straight, from ordinaire, made with margarine and often curved.
