Bostock!! and almond croissants...

Here are a few ideas of what to do with your day or two day old brioche and croissants....

The first is Bostock...we came across this recipe in a baking book that Taylor had ordered last winter...it is as good as french toast, but better because, you can eat it 'on the go'... we make our own brioche at the cafe for our french toast, so we always have a lot on hand....here is how you can create your own Bostock...

First, brush thickly sliced brioche with a simple syrup...a little orange zest would be nice

here...

Then spread some jam on top...here we are using orange marmalade..

but we have also used raspberry, which is my favourite...

Then spread with frangipane...we made our own

Then sprinkle with sliced almonds and into the oven at a moderate heat

until the brioche turns

golden brown.....cool and eat!

I will post more about the almond croissants in our next blog...watch this space!
