  • 8.5oz salted butter (grated)

  5. Fry the chorizo in a frying pan until crispy, then add 1.5 tbsp maple syrup to caramelise
  6. Roll out the pastry to make a large rectangle, 2/3 mm thick then spread on the cream cheese using a spatula and sprinkle over salt and pepper
  7. Sprinkle over the caramelised chorizo
  8. Slice into long triangles and roll from the flat edge to the point to make the mini croissants
  9. Add onto a baking tray and place in the fridge for 15 minutes to cool down
  10. Preheat the oven at 200C fan
  11. Brush the croissants with some egg, wash and bake for 15 to 20 minutes
