Welcome to the new village recipe sharing space! We have been inspired to create this resource as we know how many brilliant cooks there are in the village and I'm hoping to honour my mother by starting off with one of her most popular recipes scanned from her book (complete with notes), which she printed to raise funds for the RNLI. Who knows, if we get enough submissions we could even publish a new book...

As everyone seems to have been making marmalade, and the Black Dog Deli has wonderful pastries for sale I thought I'd get the ball rolling with one of my 'using up leftovers' recipes:
Ingredients:
3 Left over pain au chocolat or croissants (from the Black Dog Deli)
3 tablespoons of marmalade
300 ml of full fat milk
3 egg yolks
3 tablespoons caster sugar
Dark chocolate chips.
Butter
(Adult version) Cointreau, Triple sec, or any orange liqueur
Heat the milk till nearly boiling, but not. Whisk the sugar and eggs together and slowly pour in the hot milk, stirring all the time. Allow to cool a bit and add the orange liqueur for adults.
Wipe the inside of a shallow baking dish with butter
Cut the pain au chocolat or croissants into slices and spread with marmalade
Layer the slices into the dish with a sprinkling of dark chocolate chips on each layer
Pour the custard over the dish and leave for 15 minutes, then bake in a hot oven till crispy on top - probably 30 mins.
In true 'leftover' style the pudding is just as delicious cold the next day!
