New Recipe – Helen’s Bread & Butter Pudding

Our culinary-genius Helen has rustled up another yum-scrum recipe for us…

Bread & Butter Pudding

I have found this to be a great way to fill my daughter up. It can be eaten by the whole family but I blend my daughter’s with a little extra milk. It looks like bland mush but it still tastes great.

50g butter, melted plus extra for greasing
300g bread (I tend to use brioche)
500ml full fat milk
3 eggs
75g caster sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract (or vanilla pod)
1 tbsp soft brown sugar and 1tsp cinnamon for sprinkling on the top

1. Slice the brioche into thin slices and brush with melted butter.
2. Using the extra butter grease the oven dish.
3. Arrange the brioche in layers in the oven dish.
4. Heat the milk in a saucepan until boiling.
5. Whisk the eggs with the sugar and vanilla extract
6. Pour the milk over the eggs whisking continuously.
7. Pour the milk and egg mixture over the bread (you may need to strain the eggy milk mixture through a colander first).
8. Sprinkle over the brown sugar.
9. Allow to soak for half an hour (if you’ve time, if not just put into oven).
10. Place into a pre heated oven (150 fan) for one hour or until the custardy centre is set.

You could also add to the layers of bread some raisins or thinly sliced apples – whatever works for you (I put apples in the one pictured).
