Gordon, you are a madman. Who else would make a traditional bread and butter pudding with pain au chocolat and two (!) vanilla pods, and put the recipe in the "Good Food for Less" section of his cookbook? Well, I'm not complaining (except about the raisins).
After some relatively easy prep work on my part - measuring and whisking while Robin painstakingly buttered every single slice of croissant - it came time to apply Chef Ramsay's technique for scraping out the vanilla seeds from the pods.
Not bad for our first time.
Then it was into the oven...
...and 40 agonizingly-slow minutes later, we ended up with an ooey, gooey, deliciously chocolatey late-night snack. What a great way to follow up a long afternoon at the pub!
Next time: Meatballs in a fragrant coconut broth......drool.
