Bread pudding recipe
- 500g left over bread
- 500ml milk
- 200g dried mixed fruit
- 2 tsp mixed spice
- 2 medium sized eggs
- 100g melted butter
- 100g caster sugar
- 2 table spoons of brown sugar
The darker the sugar you use the darker the pudding will be, I’ve used light brown sugar in this one cos that’s what I had in the cupboard.
For the mixed fruit, sultanas, currants raisins and mixed peel work well and give lots of flavour and different textures.
Method
- Pre heat oven to 180 C / Gas mark 4 and line an 8″ square tin ready for the bread mixture.
- Soak the bread in the milk for about 15 minutes until soft before adding all of the other ingredients and mixing well.
- Put in your prepared tin and bake for about 1 hour 10 minutes in the middle of your oven.
- Sprinkle with granulated sugar while still warm, then cut into small squares once cool and enjoy!
