This recipe from
is an absolute winner for those pastries that got to the end of the week unused. They're sat by the bread bin, looking lonely and slightly stale. What better use for them than baking them into a delicious croissant and butter pudding. The best part is this recipe actually works better with older croissants — they’re less flaky and messy.Servings:  Serves 3
