Bread and Butter Pudding
Submitted by Anjie Davison on Mon, 02/02/2009 - 13:03.
It's snowing here today. We live on a hill and vehicles are being abandoned because they cannot negotiate the hill. All this snow calls for comfort food and my pudding of choice is:
Bread and Butter Pudding
- 6 thin slices of white bread (day old bread is preferable), you can remove the crusts but we like them!
- 50 g (2oz) butter 50 g (2oz) currants or sultanas
- 40 g (1 1/2 oz) caster sugar
- 2 eggs
- 568 ml (1 pint)
- Pinch of cinnamon optional
Thickly spread bread slices with butter. Cut into small squares. Put half into a buttered ovenproof dish. Sprinkle with all the fruit and half the sugar.
Top with remaining bread, buttered side uppermost. Sprinkle with the rest of the sugar and cinnamon Beat the eggs and milk well together. Strain into dish over bread.Leave to stand for 30 minutes, so the bread absorbs some of the liquid.
Bake in the oven at 160 C (325 F) mark 3 for 45 minutes - 1 hour, until set and the top is crisp and golden.
A variation of this pudding is to use brown bread and butter, spread with marmalade. Omit the dried fruit
What's not to like, Amy loves it cold the next day for breakfast!
Nice to see the Christmas bulbs growing in the background.
Oooooh no ..... COLD bread and butter pudding!
It's snowing in Greater London too, the worst its been for 18 years. There's about 8 - 10 inches on the ground. I've never known it SO quiet ..... Monday, the start of the week, and London Transport withdrew all buses from the roads! HELP I'm snowed in!!
Bread and Butter pudding doesn't do it for me, but I look forward to the home made soup I'm going to create later on.
Consider bread and butter pudding ticked off the 'Things not to give Ann when she visits' list, along with oranges. What soup are you making?
Veg soup ..... it's simmering away as I write this. Basically its all the leftover vegetables I have! Will brave the outdoors tomorrow, as by then I'll have run out of milk.
Have spoken to a neighbour, and the two of us may do a 'milk and bread' run for our 'elderly' neighbours. We're not quite in that age bracket yet Anjie!!
Have you turned into a soft southerner? Where's your northern backbone? But you have scored points in my book for your neighbourly 'milk and bread' run
Back from the shopping expedition. In true Geordie fashion, I walked through the snow dressed only in jeans and t-shirt .... I lie! Waterproof/Windproof jacket and trousers, boots, hat and thermal gloves were the order of the day.
I fear it's true ..... I've morphed in to a soft southerner.
