Popcorn Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 How's the pudding coming along this morning Sheila? Sorry, I'm late arriving, I had a lie in I rarely eat meat when I'm out, so I always go for the vege option...how boring do the chefs think we are. Funny you should mention the tomato and pasta thing Lesley, as that is exactly what I had yesterday.... Nice, but been there and done that.

Mel (& Paul) Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 erm.....how do you separate yolks from whites.... Sorry Crack the egg, allow the white to fall through the gap into the bowl below using the egg shell to keep the yolk back. Or crack the egg into your hand and allow the white to slip through your fingers and the yolk will stay on your hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 ....and what is bread pudding? Still don't know! Ingredients 200g/8oz bread, preferably stale, crusts removed 250ml/½ pint milk 150g/6oz mixed dried fruit 50g/2oz mixed peel, chopped 50g/2oz soft brown sugar 50g/2oz suet 2 tsp mixed spice 1 large egg, beaten ground nutmeg (optional) icing sugar or caster sugar to decorate Method 1. Break bread into small pieces and place in a mixing bowl. 2. Pour over the milk and leave to soak for 30 minutes, then beat out the lumps with a fork to form a smooth mixture. 3. Add the fruit, mixed peel, sugar, suet, spice and egg and mix well. 4. Pour the mixture into a greased 18cm/7in square tin, smooth the top and sprinkle with nutmeg if liked. 5. Bake at 180C/350F/Gas4 for about 1-1½ hours until browned. Cool in the tin. 6. Cut the pudding into squares and sprinkle with caster or icing sugar. Alternatively serve hot with custard or cream.

Popcorn Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Hmmm...I think the fingers method is the one for me. If I crack an egg over a bowl, it's likely to all go in I might give your recipe a bash Mel - ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I think the mixed spice amount is the one which most people change depending on taste.(and substituting raisins for apricots, figs, apple, whatever) I use a whole tub of mixed spice!

Lesley Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Well? - I'm that hungry I'll have to eat Sheila's Squashed Fly Bread and Butter pudding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I've been totally misunderstood! I popped into this topic as I needed something lighthearted and you're all criticising my food! Lesley, rest assured, there are no sultanas in this bread & butter pud! It's made with marmalade sandwiches! I'm only sharing it with Gina now, double portion. Would you like the crusty edge bit too, Gina? Also, I suggested fruit salad as an alternative because I know Lesley likes fruit & I was going to make a special one. OK, I'll have that now. Anyway, I found a forgotten saved portion of apple crumble in the fridge this evening. Then remembered it was from last Sunday perhaps not! The reason it didn't all go was that I went to make the custard and realised that I'd nearly run out of powder. Bother. So, tonight, not the crumble, too old. How about golden syrup sponge pud, with custard? I've still forgotten to buy the custard. OK, no hard feelings, I'll go & make the chocolate mousse.

Sheilaz Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Oh, dear. Did you want some? I've even licked the bowl. Just teasing, I've made one for you too! I'll leave some more here with the tea tray in case anyone else pops by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheilaz Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 But not here. No custard until I go shopping! No rhubarb until my new plant grows. I have chicken protectors, slug protectors, (they both had the last one) and still it's looking a bit exhausted. Will have to have have a chat with it tomorrow.

Crooked Chicken Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 I split my rhubarb plants last year and I now have 7 gorgeous plants. Ummm got the taste buds going now. Think we'll have rhubarb and custard tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
