MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
 
      Title: Caramel Croissant Pudding
 Categories: Breads, Pudding, Booze
      Yield: 2 servings
 
      2    Stale croissants
    1/2 c  Sugar
      2 tb Water
    1/2 c  Heavy cream
      2 tb Bourbon
    1/2 c  Whole milk
      2    Eggs; beaten
 
  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  
  Tear the croissants into pieces and put in a small gratin
  dish; I use a cast iron oval with a capacity of about 500ml/
  2 cups for this.
  
  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. Caramelize 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. Keep
  looking but don't be too timid.
  
  Take the pan off the heat and add the cream - ignoring all
  spluttering - followed by the bourbon and milk. Whisk to
  mix, then still whisking add the beaten eggs. Pour this
  quickly over the croissants and leave to steep for 10 min.
  
  Place in the preheated oven for 20 minutes and prepare to swoon.

  I always think that some of the best recipes come from the
  thrifty refusal to throw anything away. Certainly, I made
  this one Monday evening because I had 2 stale croissants
  left over from the weekend and just knew they could be put
  to good use. Now, adding cream and bourbon is probably a
  lot less thrifty than throwing some stale bread away in
  the first place, but this is such a fabulous pudding that
  I now think it should be every Monday night's supper. And
  I mean supper: with something this substantial, you certainly
  need eat nothing beforehand. Though I admit a small crunchy
  salad may not be a bad idea first. Oh, and if you don't have
  any Bourbon in the house, first may I say, please consider
  it, and second, replace it, rather, with rum; Scotch Whisky
  may seem the obvious subsitute but it would be the wrong one
  I feel.

  Yield: Serves 2 greedy people
