Got any day old Croissant laying around? Me neither, they never last that long…but should on some rare occasion, a croissant or two escapes the hungry hoardes, try this for a decadent morning tea idea.
NEED:
Day old croissant…(This quantity makes 6)
110 grams ground almond meal
250 grams unsalted butter
drizzle almond essence
1/4 cup icing sugar
flaked almonds to finish
SYRUP made from 1 cup water and 1/2 cup caster sugar brought together until sugar is dissolved on Induction 6. Can add a dash of rum at this point. Cool. (Really cool…as in hip!)
DO:
Preheat oven to 160 degrees.
Cut croissant in half and lay in baking dish.
Pulse butter, almonds, icing sugar, essence and egg together in food processor.
When blended spoon onto croissant half and top with other half.
Pour syrup over and allow to soak in.
Sprinkle with flaked almonds and bake until golden. (Around 20 minutes)
Serve whilst warm.
