Festive Brunch Honey Butter Croissant
Christmas is here, and this year it's all about croissants. Yes, it's also about the birth of Jesus, tree worship and rampant hysterical capitalism but here at Twisted we want to celebrate the iconic french pastry.

This recipe simply takes an existing croissant - the better quality the better, as it'll need structural integrity to stand up to the rigours of glazing and re-baking - and covers it in caramel. It emerges from the oven burnished, glistening, golden like your nan after a trip to the Algarve.
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Melt the butter and beat in the sugar and honey until fully combined.
Cut the croissants in half lengthways to make a sandwich shape and dip the cut side in the honey butter mixture.
Place on a lined baking tray and brush with the remaining mixture, then immediately bake for around 30 minutes until glossy and caramelised.
Allow to cool until crisp, then load with Christmas sandwich fillings - streaky bacon, cranberry sauce, camembert or brie and finally rocket. Serve immediately.
