or Spiced Bread Pudding with Brandy Cream

2 teaspoons mixed spice


whole nutmeg


4 oz (110 g) sultanas


1 oz (25 g) currants


1 oz (25 g) raisins


2 oz (50 g) whole candied lemon or orange peel, chopped


3 tablespoons brandy


10 fl oz (275 ml) milk


2 oz (50 g) butter, melted, plus a little extra for greasing


3 oz (75 g) dark soft brown sugar


1 large egg, beaten


grated zest ½ orange


grated zest 1 lemon


1 tablespoon demerara sugar





For the brandy:


1 dessertspoon brandy


5 fl oz (150 ml) double cream


1 oz (25 g) golden caster sugar





You will also need a baking dish with a base measurement of 6¼ x 8 inches (15.5 x 20 cm), 1¾ inches (4.5 cm) deep, buttered.





Begin by placing the sultanas, currants, raisins and candied peel in a bowl. Pour over the brandy and leave aside to marinate. Then, in a large bowl, break the bread into ½ inch (1 cm) pieces. Add the milk, then give the mixture a good stir and leave it for about 30 minutes so the bread becomes well soaked. Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 4, 350°F (180°C).





Next, mix the melted butter, sugar, mixed spice and beaten egg together and then add to the second bowl. Now, using a fork, beat the mixture well, making sure there are no lumps, then stir in the marinated fruits, with any brandy remaining, and also the orange and lemon zest. After that, spread the mixture in the baking dish and sprinkle the sugar over it, along with some freshly grated nutmeg. Bake on the centre shelf of the oven for about 1¼ hours. Meanwhile, whisk together the ingredients for the brandy cream and serve it with the pudding warm from the oven.Please, please WHO can give me a VERY simple ';Bread Pudding'; recipe, without ';Extras'; being added!!
Bread Pudding





3 ea Slices stale bread


1 cup Sugar


1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg


1/4 teaspoon Salt


2 1/2 cup Milk


2 tablespoons Butter


3 Eggs


1 teaspoon Vanilla





It is best to use a Hearty Bread for this recipe. Breads such as ';Wonder Bread'; do not work as well.





Cut bread into cubes, or roughly tear apart into chunks. Put Bread into bowl. In a blender, or by hand, mix Eggs, Milk, Sugar, Salt, Vanilla and Nutmeg. Pour over bread cubes and let soak at least one hour, or covered overnight in the refrigerator.





Pour all into a 3 quart liberally buttered oven proof casserole dish. (If any butter is left after buttering the casserole, place it in the bottom of the casserole before pouring in remaining ingredients. Place casserole in a pan of very hot water to come about 2/3 way up the casserole dish. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 325 degrees until done, about 30-40 minutes.





Pudding will raise like a Souffle, then collapse when removed from the oven. Serve warm or cold with or without your favorite “sauce” or Whipped Cream.Please, please WHO can give me a VERY simple ';Bread Pudding'; recipe, without ';Extras'; being added!!

Not sure if you want ';Bread Pudding'; or ';Bread %26amp; Butter Pudding';?





Looks like most have given you recipes for the latter, although calling it Bread Pudding...





Bread Pudding is using stale bread, which has been soaked in milk, a variety of dried fruits, spices (mixed spice/cinnamon/nutmeg), suet and sugar. Sometimes apple is added - depending on the recipe. The whole lot is mulched together, transferred to a buttered baking dish/pan, sprinkled with sugar and baked until cooked to a rich dark brown. It is quite stodgy, moist inside and crispy baked on top. Delicious hot or cold, with or without custard.





P.S. Sorry, forgot the candied peel...
this is how i like bread pudding:





it is basically like making french toast...





use vienna bread, one inch thick slices.


sliced or shredded apples that have been tossed and coated with sugar, cinnamon and a bit of lemon juice





beat together eggs milk and vanilla. dip bread slices into the mixture and layer in a greased baking dish.





next layer the apple mixture and top with another layer of the bread slices dipped in the egg mixture.





bake in a low to moderate oven... 325F for about 25 min. sprinkle a little sugar on top and bake for an additional 5 to 8 minutes.





try it, unless you hate apples you will like this.
