Does anyone have a recipe for bread pudding. My husband wants me to make some like his mums but saddly she is no longer with us to ask.

Thanks, I'll do a search. Thanks for moving the post I didn't notice where I put it. Bread pudding on my mind.

There's one here http://www.netmums.com/food/Bread_Pudding.669/

 

Haven't tried it though so no idea what it's like. Might one day though as I do like bread pudding.

Thanks for that and it doesn't have fat. I will try that first.

Here is our family recipe. You can add other fruit - stewed apple in a layer in very good.

 

Place 500g day old bread torn up into a big bowl.

Pour on 285ml semi skim milk & leave to stand for at least 1 hour,preferably overnight.

 

Preheat oven to 150c & grease & line the base of a a 20cm deep square tin.

 

Add 75g raisins,75g Currants, zest of 1 lemon,125g Demerara sugar,2tsp mixed spice,another 285ml semi skim milk & 2 beaten eggs & mix well with your hands (lovely fun squishy bit!)

 

Pour mix into the baking tin & cook for 1.5 hours until golden & springy.

 

Remove from oven ,leave to cool & sprinkle 25g demerara sugar on top.

Cut into squares to serve.

Thanks that sounds really yummy. I like the mixing with the hand bit. Now I shall make both (not at the same time) and let you what my OH says.

Just wanted to say Cinnamon, that I tried your recipe yesterday. I was a little concerned that as it was a granary french stick that I had (which I'd made on Friday), that it wouldn't work.

 

However, it worked a treat and tasted delicious.

 

Thankyou very very much!

You are most welcome.

 

We have an old bread glut this weekend,so will probably make one too - the girls love it in their lunchboxes & ask for extras for their mates
