Bread Pudding - something that I made years ago and having a surfeit of bread I thought that I’d have another go. A quick look on the web returned several recipes so this is a combination of several of the simplest.
500g bread – any type that takes your fancy
100g butter, spread etc
100g brown sugar (but white will do)
100g currants, mixed fruit etc
2 eggs
500ml milk
vanilla/ginger/spice/caster suger/icing sugar etc optional to taste
Process:
Butter the bread then cut it into small pieces and put into a large bowl (I leave the crusts on). Add the milk and mash it all together into a slurry. Add the sugar, spice, fruit and beaten eggs to the mixture. Line a shallow tray, cake tin etc with baking parchment and pour all the mixture in. Cook for 60-90 mins at approx 150C, check after 60 mins.
When cooked, you can cover it with caster suger, icing sugar etc if you have a sweet tooth.
Eat!
