A simple to make sweet croissant.
This also works if you subsititute the pineapple for bananas.

Servings: 6
Cost: £6
Ingredients
- 1 pkt Pre-made puff pastry

- 3 tbsp Plain flour for dusting
Instructions
- Dust the rolling surface with plain flour (and the rolling pin)
- Roll out half the pastry to 3mm thickness on your cutting board (typically to the edge of the cutting board)
- cut pastry into 25mm wide ribbons 25cm in length
- Slice pineapple rings in half
- Wrap a ribbon of pastry around each half of pineapple
- Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper

- Bake for 15-20 minutes at 200c in a pre-heated oven
- Once baked, allow to cool for around 10 minutes
Notes
They can be left out and are still tasty the next day but should be eated within 48 hours. If you use bananas, they don't need to be especially ripe - they will sweeten-up as they are baked.
