EASY ALMOND CROISSANT RECIPE:
(my adapted version)
Pre-heat oven 180C Fan. Line a baking tin with greaseproof paper. In a small bowl, mix 80g ground almonds, 50g unsalted butter (melted), 40g golden caster sugar , 1 tsp almond extract and 1/2 tsp kirsch until a thick paste is formed. Unroll 1 packet of Jus Roll croissant dough onto a floured surface. Spread the almond mixture evenly along the dough. Starting at the short end, roll up the dough tightly, then cut into 6 circles. Place the almond swirls into the prepared tin, leaving plenty of space in between, as these will spread when cooking. Brush the tops of the swirls with a beaten egg, then scatter a handful of flaked almonds over their tops. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Hello Miranda, thank you for this wonderfully festive and magical video. I had to stop and rewind the almond croissant segment to check whether my hearing was playing tricks on me 😀. Thank you, that was most kind and very special. And now I shall have to check out Nadia's recipe too. I loved seeing the transformation of the bookcase for the Christmas season. All best wishes, Jason

@MirandaMills Год назад

Thank you for inspiring such a yummy breakfast, Jason 😄 I adapted the recipe a bit, so you can also check out my version in the description box (although Nadiya’s cookbook is lovely- I highly recommend!). Hope you’re having a lovely start to the weekend! 🎄📚

@tinkerbell9399 Год назад

OMG Miranda! I can’t believe the first of your books is Wind in the Willows! My dad bought me a very special edition when I was just 7. It was the most beautiful book, the illustrations were lovely. I read it from cover to cover so many times. Sadly I lost my dad when I was 10, and after moving countless times as a child, the book was lost! I have never forgotten that book, and always check bookshops wherever I go, hoping to find it again. Your edition looks beautiful, and I might just treat myself to one. Thanks for sparking bittersweet memories.

@MirandaMills Год назад

It is such a wonderful book 😊❤️

@andraste6746 Год назад

So lovely, Miranda! I prefer the cold weather and am looking forward to next week’s Cozy Book Club as I think the author really gets at the blessings of a ‘dormant’ season. I’m hosting my Jane Austen book club in December and you’ve inspired me to put together a holiday book centerpiece - such a great idea! Finally, tonight I’m visiting the Maine Historical Society shop to pick up a Longfellow House Advent calendar - I’m already looking forward to December 1 so I can start enjoying the illustrations. Many thanks to you and Donna for sharing your decorations with us! ❤️❤️❤️

I had ordered Christmas Chronicles after seeing it in one of your previous videos and I can’t wait to start it. I finished Wintering earlier this week so I’ll be ready for next week’s video. Your Christmas bookcase is amazing! A cordless floor lamp is genius! There are never enough outlets it seems. And I love Jason’s inspiration in this vlog also. I always look forward to his comments at our comfort book club. The croissants look delicious. So lovely to see Donna also. And your tree is simply beautiful🥰 have a lovely weekend, Miranda❤️

I passed the last 40 or so minutes enjoying this video. My husband is on his second cold this winter and I'm just recovering from an asthma flare. It's been a dark gray day here in Kentucky but this video was so cheering! Thank you! I liked the balance of the various activities you shared. It was wonderfully paced! What a lovely tree. I particularly like your angel topper and how it was tied to the tree.

I spotted Truman Capote’s A Christmas Memory in your video, which is the book that kicks off the holiday season for me. I was lucky to attend a function forty or more years ago and hear Capote read it in a huge auditorium. Even though there were hundreds of people in attendance, hearing him read it was a profoundly personal experience. Not many dry eyes in the house by the time he was finished; it remains my favorite author reading even after all these years. Thank you for reminding me it is time to pull my book from the shelf and get the holidays started!

@MirandaMills Год назад

Wow, that must have been such a magical experience! ❤️

@andraste6746 Год назад

Oh what a beautiful experience.

@pamelapoet9 Год назад

A Christmas Memory is my go-to holiday read, too. How amazing to have heard it read / performed by the Capote himself!

What a sweet little Christmas Tree! I enjoy your channel so much! You seem like a kindred spirit to me. I had a beautiful collection of Christmas books that were lost to me. When I moved from my house to here, I forgot to empty my tiny bks that had ALL my Christmas Books in it. Nothing g else. When I realized it over a month later, the new owner would NOT let me come get them or have them. I begged. To this day (8 yrs. later) I cry for those books when Christmas approaches. I always served tea and cocoa and cookies when we decorated our family tree. Really like when your Mom joins you. You seem to have a good and close relationship with her. How special. Hope you do some Christmas Blogs this year (2023). Thank so much!

Hi Miranda, I watched this video a few days ago but forgot to comment! I loved the whole 41 minutes, you created such a lovely festive atmosphere and it was a real pleasure to watch. One comment I really wanted to make about 'The Serious Reader' company was that this reading lamp would be excellent for someone with early macular degeneration (such as my husband) - I feel that the 'daylight ' might extend such people's ability to enjoy reading, jigsaw puzzles, embroidery, etc. Thank you for bringing it to our attention!

Loved this vlog as usual Miranda, thank you for taking the time to create & post it. Last weekend my husband & our younger grandson put up the outside Christmas lights at the front of our home & also our Christmas tree in the lounge. I spent all this last week decorating the inside of our home, which includes an artificial but traditional looking tree in the lounge, a modern, wooden, simple tree from Habitat in our dining room. A white, pre-lit twiggy tree in our bedroom, an artificial 3ft tree in the back bedroom & a china tree in the smallest bedroom. Garland across the mantlepiece in the lounge with festive lights, tinsel & lights going up the stairs, Elizabeth Harbour decorations festoon our rooms & various advent calendars are ready to be opened. This is the earliest we have started 'trimming up' as my parents used to call it, but we are away next weekend & then it's December!!! Take care until your next post & thank you for such lovely content & inspiration ❤ xx

Thank you for a wonderful vlog! I agree with you, there is so much to appreciate in every month of the year. I have been sorting through my Elizabeth Harbour decorations just now 😄! I generally use these in season, but I've created a few ensembles around the house that stay all year, including her Faithful Friend decoration - I've untied the cord and have it standing against a framed Faithful Friend card, with a little posy of flowers alongside for all the dogs I've loved. Her designs are just so special. I must check my books too, as I think a have a couple of festive mysteries that I didn't get to last year!

I can’t wait to start my Christmas deco as well! 🎄I’m also reading “Wintering” and I hope to muster the courage to send a voice contribution if I feel I have something interesting to say about it.

I absolutely loved following along as you did your bookshelf! I loved that you took time to do this so we can see and be inspired. Going to do a shelf in our living room! 📚🕯

I was traveling in Bath on my own a few years ago, happily and lazily wandering the Christmas Markets of England. It was the most fabulous time. Your holiday vlog brought back so many happy memories. Thank you.

Wow, thank you so much for your very generous support, Marina! It's very kind of you and very much appreciated! I'm so glad my Bath vlog brought back happy memories of your own visit. Wishing you a wonderful holiday season ❤️

I really loved this vlog Miranda. The festive elements, the reading recommendations but most of all I loved how caring and thoughtful you and your mother are to each other. It is so heart-warming.

Another cozy, Christmas video, I'm looking forward to watching however many you post on RU-vid. I'm reading Greenglass House throughout this Christmas season , I think you would really like it too.

It is amazing that you have the so much to fit so snuggly on your shelf! I would love a seasonal shelf. What a grand idea!

@gailgilchrist5421 Год назад

I wasn't in much of a festive spirit until now after watching your video. You have inspired me to put together my own collection of seasonal books (some of which I recognized in this video). Also, I could almost smell those almond croissants after they came out of the oven!

@MirandaMills Год назад

I’m so glad this helped get you in the mood for the upcoming season, Gail! The almond croissants did smell & taste delicious- I so recommend them 😄

Such a peaceful opening and background music! 🥰 The Wind in the Willows is GORGEOUS and all the swag 😂 is lovely, too. Wintering is a wonderful read. I’m saving up for The Christmas Chronicles! I’ve had it on my list for a few years.
