Croissants (kifli) are from Hungarynot Austria or France. They’re from the time of the Turks in Budapestnot the siege of Vienna. Turks took Budapest and introduced coffee culture as well. The Turks never took Vienna. The Austrians borrowed the kifli and made kipferlhence the name. Note that Hungarians make both sweet and savory kifli with that butter dough. The kite-shaped Christmas cookies with apricot filling are also called kifli in some parts of Hungary / Central Europe.
