Just Like I've Promised...

Custard Sauce

The Bread and Butter Pudding

Today, I just felt like winning a 100-metre race, simply because I have done my homework in a 2-hour marathon. I felt like a burden has just been lifted from me. So, what else to do than blogging about this recipe. God knows, how happy I am now- finally been able to think straight... ;) Just like I've promised before.. my whole-meal bread and butter pudding recipe (which was originally from Nigella Lawson). This bread and butter pudding is definitely a star on its own. It is certainly not an ordinary bread and butter pudding. There's a hint of English taste of this pudding. Give it a try and you'll definitely know what it means to be in a baking heaven....

The recipe for the pudding

What you need;

75g unsalted butter

3 tbsp of orange juice

75g sultanas

1 loaf of whole-meal bread (originally brown bread)

Half of bottle of Ginger and orange conserve (marmalade)-

I have used the St Dalfour brand of jam in this recipe

4 egg yolks

1 egg

3tbsp of caster sugar

200ml full-fat fresh milk ( skimmed milk will not do - I'm sorry)

500ml double cream ( I have used UHT whipping cream - ARLA or Emborg brand)

1 tsp of ground ginger (you can use fresh grated ginger)

2tbsp demerara sugar (abundant in the UK, unfortunately please use brown sugar here in Malaysia)

How

1) Grease pudding dish with not so expensive butter. Unsalted is quite expensive

here in Malaysia (unfortunately)

2) Soak sultanas with orange juice ( 15-20 mins or until they really plumped up)

3) Sandwich bread, butter and jam

4) Cut your sandwiches into triangles, arrange evenly

5) Sprinkle sultanas over the sandwiches, together with the soaked up-juices

6) Whisk egg yolks and egg with caster sugar- pour into bread sandwiches

7) Pour in the cream and milk

8) Smear the bread crust with soft butter, mix the ground ginger and demerara (brown) sugar.

9)Lastly bake the pudding in a pre-heated oven of 120C, for about 20-30 mins.

10) Test if it's ready by putting a skewer inside , it should come out clean.
