So I was at work listening to the world service, as you do, when I heard a piece on cronuts. Never heard of them? Read

http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/ ... t-doughnut

So I have found a recipe for quick croissants

And a subsequent recipe for cronuts or fauxnuts...

Cheers

Mind. Blown. It's like everything good about desert put in a photo.

Hmm. Rum creme filling.

Hmm. Caramelized doce de leite with orange essence filling.

Hmm. Vanilla sugar and raisin filling.

Straight whipped cream and candied lemon peel.
