Bumping up for Bread & Butter Pudding... .

valentino - 2008-05-20 15:35:00

Bread and No Butter Pudding (Without eggs) *METHOD* Dissolve 2Tbsp Brown Sugar with Tbsp water in a low-heat saucepan add 2 meduim apples peeled core and cut into thin slices. Cover and simmer 5mins. Grease baking dish or slow-cooker. Cut into halves 8 or more thick slices of Bread (You can use Fruit Bread, personally I use FruitBread)and layer along with the apple adding in the occassional currants or sultanas and preferred spices as you layer. Moisten bread dish with a cup of milk and prepare custard mix of 1-2 servings. Pour over while hot and set to cook in your SLow Cooker or bake in a moderate oven. Enjoy. *TIPS* If you really want-- you can spread butter on the slices. but in the olden days Bread and Butter pudding was just a way to use up buttered bread left over from a meal and actually has no real functional use--despite it's name. If using normal bread. Try spreading jam instead.

made your gingernut surprise last night valentino!! we all loved it! 14yr old down to 2 yr old. The ginger flavour really came thru. Wondered whether it would work with other type biscuits like choc chip or peppermint? Or maybe a variation - substituting the custard for whip cream - not cooking but leaving for an hour or so.

neville26 - 2008-06-06 11:24:00

neville26 If one has an idea of trying something especially after having successfully done a recipe then one would know on own's personal taste re-trying out other variations. This is great and one can only say "Go for it", it is the only way one knows how personal variations comes out. Thank you for your initial feedback as they say on TM. Cheers neville26.
