    LOL I just got a PM from a lovely member asking me the same

    Creme Brulee Croissant Pudding

    12 whole Croissants, Medium Size
    ½ cups Unsalted Butter
    1 cup Packed Brown Sugar
    2 Tablespoons Golden Syrup
    5 whole Eggs
    3/4 C Milk
    3/4 C Cream
    1 teaspoon Vanilla
    1 teaspoon Cinnamon
    (you can make it tipsy by adding a tsp alcohol like grand marnier or cointreau)

    Melt butter over medium heat; mix in brown sugar and golden syrup until dissolved.
    Pour into 9 x 13 inch baking dish. (I use my large pyrex rectangle dish)
    Cube croissants and layer over the sugar mixture. (I cut them up with my kitchen scissors)
    Whisk together eggs, milk, cream, vanilla, cinnamon and if desired liqueur.
    Pour over bread.
    Cover and let sit in the fridge for 8 hours or overnight.
    Bake at 180C for 40 minutes, until lightly browned and puffed.
    We celebrate a traditional American Xmas on Xmas eve so I pop this in the fridge before we start celebrating

    If you're going to make rolls you have to make The Pioneer Woman's Dinner Rolls, you can make the dough on xmas eve and pop it in the fridge and then make the rolls the morning of xmas. They are EASY and the best tasting rolls in the universe!
