This is less of a recipe than a quick, comforting, throw-together-in-a-few-minutes kind of pudding. Which is nice - I only ever decide I want dessert at about 7 p.m. and simply could not fathom steaming a pudding for 3 hours' time. So this one, quick, easy, is just a bit of pain au chocolate (or by all means, plain croissant, bread, etc.) with a bit of sugar, baked with custard. I top it off with even more custard and dig in, refusing to share. Make it and you'll understand why.
Not at all pretty, but so moreish.
*****
1 pain au chocolat per person
1 cup of custard per person (homemade or shop bought)
a sprinkle of sugar
Tear up your croissant and pack into a buttered pudding tin. Pour over half the custard, making sure to get into the cracks, but don't let it overflow. Bake at 400 degrees F for about 15-20 minutes, or until browned nicely on the top. Top it off with more custard and dig in!
