Caramel Croissant Pudding

I have never really liked bread and butter pudding because of the stodginess. But I gave this croissant version a try when making dinner for my boyfriend. It is fairly easy and super tasty, give it a go!

Ingedients:

• 2 stale croissants
• 110g sugar
• 2 tbsps water
• 110g double cream
• 2 tbsps bourbon
• 110ml whole milk
• 2 eggs, beaten

Method:

1) Preheat the oven to 180C

2) Tear the croissants into pieces and put in a small gratin dish

3) Put the sugar and water into a saucepan, and swirl around to help dissolve the sugar before putting the saucepan on the hob over medium to high heat. Caramelise the sugar and water mixture by letting it bubble away until it all turns a deep amber colour; this will take 3 to 5 minutes. Make sure you keep and eye on it!

4) Take the pan off the heat and add the cream followed by milk. Whisk to mix, then still whisking add the beaten eggs. Pour this over the croissants and leave to soak for 10 minutes.

5) Place in the preheated oven for 20 minutes and enjoy!
