  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar

  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • None None Powdered sugar, for dusting

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F. With a sharp knife, carefully cut open the inside edge of the croissants to make a pocket, leaving 1/2 inch at each end. Spread strawberry jam in pocket and fill with sliced strawberries.
  • Place sugar, egg, milk and vanilla paste in a shallow bowl; whisk until combined.
  • Heat 1/2 the butter in a large skillet on medium heat. When the butter is sizzling, dip a croissant in the milk mixture, allowing it to soak up the mixture. Remove the croissant from the mixture, allowing any excess to drain off, and place in the pan. Repeat with 3 more croissants. Cook until golden brown on both sides. Transfer to a wire rack over a baking pan. Place in oven to keep warm while repeating with the remaining butter, croissants and milk mixture.
  • Serve croissants dusted with sifted powdered sugar and with additonal strawberries.
