Breakfast can become very monotonousness. Breakfast staples are wonderful sure. Who can escape the morning without a good scrambled egg or two, or a hearty waffle but, some mornings especially dreary ones, it’s nice to boost the flavor element by adding something simple yet scrumptious. In steps vanilla custard. A simply made treat that takes all of 15 minutes. Simple pantry ingredients alongside store bought croissants will make the week day feel like a weekend. Perfect for brunch or as a quick after dinner dessert vanilla custard is a recipe that should be a part of any culinary repertoire.
Who doesn’t love a buttery, fluffy Croissant. I sure do and as much as making them homemade taste better, store bought is the sure-fire way to go. The process of making home made croissants is rather daunting, and although it is an endeavor I have taken, I wouldn’t cover my hard earned work with anything. Store bought is they way to go. The older the bread the more reasonable it is to make something with them other than having them in their original state.
