GRANDMA'S BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING 8 slices of bread
150 grams of sultana and raisins (75g +75[each])
1/2 jar of jam (strawberry or raspberry)
200 g butter/ spread
250 mls milk
2/3 eggs
sugar (to sprinkle on top)
Serves about four portions.
Preheat oven to about 180 C (350 F). Then, whilst you wait for it to heat you SHOULD have enough time to do the rest.
Get a suitable cooking dish [personally I used a 30x30 (cm) smear some butter on the bottom (and sides) of the dish.
Take four slices of (preferably semi stale, although it ultimately makes little difference) bread, and butter each on both sides; place them in the dish.
Now, add your Raisins and sultanas, simply sprinkling them on top of the bread. Once you have spread the raisins and sultanas evenly over the bread, spread half a jar of (strawberry or raspberry) jam over the raisins and bread so that the jam absorbs the fruit and keeps it in a sort of stasis.
Next, take the other 4 pieces of bread and butter them (on both sides. Place the bread on top of the jam, raisins, etc. and then cut the four sandwich-like portions into halves or even quarters so that you will have smaller pieces.
Put milk into a mixing bowl and whisk in the eggs. When this becomes an almost-cream like colour (or just white with yellow parts), pour the mixture on top of the bread.
Sprinkle a small amount of sugar (optionally) and bake in the oven for about 45 mins. Serve with cream or custard for best flavour.

God, that looks and sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI've just been out for dinner and had bread and butter pudding, but without the jam, you can make it with marmalade too.
