Marmalade-Glazed Croissant Pudding
"This sounds quite fancy but is really just a slightly more decadent version of the good old bread and butter pudding. I add chocolate chips to mine to induce the pickier ones in the household to eat some. I have posted the original recipe, but I always substitute the milk and cream for fat-free versions, and i don't think it makes a difference."

*Reviewed for Pick-A-Chef September '07* Wonderful pudding! My husband wants to give 10 stars as he says this is the best custard pudding he has ever had. Made as stated and used sultanas. The pudding did take longer to cook than stated, but may have been that I used a different size/shape baking dish. I think I'll be making this next time with gluten-fre bread and soy milk so that I can enjoy some too (I wonder if my family notice the difference :wink: ). Thanks for sharing a great recipe.
