• Add sugar and vanilla and beat at med. speed until thoroughly combined.
• reduce speed to low and add cream; mix until smooth.

In a 10 by 15 by 2 1/2-inch oval baking dish, distribute the bottoms of the sliced croissants, then add the raisins, then the tops of the croissants (brown side up), being sure the raisins are between the layers of croissants or they will burn while baking. Pour the custard over the croissants and allow to soak for 10 minutes, pressing down gently.
• Place the pan in a larger one filled with 1-inch of hot water. Cover the larger pan with aluminum foil, tenting the foil so it doesn't touch the pudding.

CROISSANT BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven.
• Set the temperature of the oven at 320ºF
• Tear up the croissants.
• Roughly tear the croissants into pieces, put them in a bowl and add the raisins.
• Make the custard.
• Start with the vanilla bean. Make an incision down the center, scrape the pulp out onto the bean and put it in a saucepan.
• Next add the cream and milk and heat over a medium temperature. When the custard starts to boil, remove the saucepan from the heat.
• Put the eggs and egg yolks in a bowl, add the sugar and begin whisking. Mix in a little hot milk, pour it all back into the saucepan and mix thoroughly.
• Using a sieve, strain the custard over the croissants and raisins. Make sure they are entirely submerged in the custard. Leave the croissants to soak like this for 15 minutes.
• Carefully pour the mixture into a buttered baking tin and spread it out to ensure that the raisins are evenly distributed.
• Place the tin in the center of the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
• To check that the pudding is done, insert a knife into the center. If when removing it is slightly wet then the pudding is ready as the centre should remain moist. Remove it from the oven and leave to cool down.

CROISSANT BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING

Steps:

• Generously butter an ovenproof dish that measures about 20 x 30cm (8 x 12 inches).
• Arrange a single layer of croissant chunks, slightly overlapping, in the bottom of the dish. Scatter over some of the raisins, place another layer of croissant chunks on top and scatter over the remaining raisins. Press down gently with a fish slice or spatula.
• To make the custard, heat the cream and milk in a saucepan until the mixture comes almost to the boil. Remove from the heat. Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, ground cinnamon and sugar in a large heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water until the mixture is thickened and the whisk or beaters leave a trail when lifted. Remove from the heat and beat in the cream mixture until well combined.
• Pour two-thirds of the custard over the croissants and leave to stand for about 30 minutes or until they have soaked up all the liquid. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4.
• Pour the remaining custard over the soaked croissants and press down firmly with a fish slice or spatula so that the custard reaches halfway up the croissants. Place the dish in a roasting pan and pour in enough water to come a third of the way up the side of the dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the custard is just set and the top is golden brown. Serve immediately.
