This takes the classic bread and butter pud idea and raises it to new heights. The croissants soak up the Kirsch-scented custard beautifully, but go deliciously crisp on top.


Serves 4 Cook 12-14 minutes


Ingredients


  • Butter for greasing

  • 300ml double cream

  • 300ml whole milk

  • 75g caster sugar

  • 4 large egg yolks

  • 2 tbsp Kirsch

  • 6 medium or 4 large croissants

  • 5-6 tbsp cherry conserve or jam

  • 100g cherries, stoned and halved

Equipment

  • 1.2 litre ovenproof dish


Method


1. Grease a 1.2 litre ovenproof dish.


2. Pour the cream and milk into a saucepan and heat just to the boil, then remove from the heat. Beat the sugar and egg yolks together in a large bowl, then pour on the hot milk and beat thoroughly. Stir in the Kirsch.


3. Halve each croissant and spread with the cherry conserve. Arrange in the ovenproof dish. Scatter with the cherries and pour over the custard. Leave to stand for about 30 minutes to allow the custard to soak into the croissants.


4. Meanwhile, heat your oven to 160°C/gas 3. Bake the pudding for 40-45 minutes, until the custard is set. If the top seems to be browning too quickly, cover the pudding with foil. Serve warm.

So some MGA casinos could learn a thing or two from this casino. I deposited just €75 and took advantage of all three deposit bonuses. With my third deposit, I won a total of €1,200 and played through the bonus 35 times. My account was verified and paid out within three days, and the money was immediately credited to my account. You can only withdraw €400 per day there, but for a Curacao casino, they pay out fairly quickly and reliably. At this casino, you don't have to worry about fraud. In addition, every deposit I made was profitable; there was not a single deposit without a profit. Even after withdrawing €800, I continued to win with every deposit. I…
