Did a search and couldn't find a recipe for Bread Pudding on here.

Have made this tonight:

Bread Pudding
Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

225g/8oz Bread
125g/5oz Raisins
100g/4oz Soft Brown Sugar
1/4 teasp Mixed Spice
600ml/1pt. Milk
100g/4oz Butter
4 Eggs, beaten
1 tbsp Brandy (optional) sp.
METHOD

1. Place the bread, raisins, half of the sugar and the mixed spice in a bowl. Pour the milk over the bread and leave to soak for 30 minutes.

2. Preheat the oven to 190C, 375F, Gas mark 5 and lightly grease a square baking tin.

3. Place the butter in a small saucepan and heat gently until melted.

4. Stir the beaten eggs, melted butter and brandy into the bread mixture, then pour into the greased baking tin. Bake for 45 minutes until browned and set.

5. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the remaining sugar and allow to cool. Once cold, cut into squares.

This can also be served as a hot dessert with whipped cream.

Will let you all know how it tastes. Great egg user, since my 3 remaining hens have each laid 2 eggs over 2 days, bless them.

Hmmm, not tried to make bread pudding before, but I think I know what tomorrow's egg fest might be Very Happy

Four hens all laying now, so that's egg sarnies for lunch, with home made mayo - and now I think pudding's sorted too Razz

What sort of bread do you use? White or brown kind?

It was the crusts of 3 Granary loaves.
I didn't use the milk in the recipe, cos I had already soaked the bread in water. Squeezed as much water out as poss and then continued as the recipe.
Can't see why it had brandy in it, I couldn't taste it and would imagine it's not enough to make an impact.
Very Happy
