BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING

Steps:

• Grease an ovenproof dish, about 23x28cm/9x11in in size, with butter. Spread each slice with on one side with butter, then cut into triangles.
• Arrange a layer of bread, buttered-side up, in the bottom of the dish, then add a layer of sultanas. Sprinkle with a little cinnamon, then repeat the layers of bread and sultanas, sprinkling with cinnamon, until you have used up all of the bread. Finish with a layer of bread, then set aside.
• Gently warm the milk and cream in a saucepan over a low heat to scalding point. Do not let it boil. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add three-quarters of the sugar and lightly whisk until pale. Add the warm milk and cream mixture and stir well, then strain the custard into a bowl. Pour the custard over the prepared bread layers, sprinkle with nutmeg and the remaining sugar and leave to stand for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Place the dish into the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the custard has set and the top is golden brown. Serve with extra custard, if desired.

BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING

Steps:

• In a small bowl add raisins and brandy and set aside,
• In a large pot over medium-low heat brown the butter, stirring frequently until it is golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Make sure you watch the butter carefully as the butter can burn easily, check out his post on how to brown butter.
• Arrange the bread slices into a 2 QT size dish, I use an 11" X 8.5" X 2" glass dish. You may need to cut the bread to fit evenly into the pan. Evenly pour the brown butter all over the bread slices and make sure to scrape out all the brown pieces, those are flavor bombs!
• In a large saucepan whisk heavy cream, milk, vanilla, eggs, nutmeg, and sugar until fully combined, you do not want any trace of egg left behind. Place over medium heat and cook on low heat for 3-4 minutes until the mixture has warmed through.
• Pour the raisins and brandy into the warmed custard mixture and mix to combine.
• Pour the cream mixture evenly over the bread slices, the raisins will be sunk to the bottom of the pot so I use my hand to gently scatter them around the bread and in the slices, you don't want too many on top as they can burn while baking. Cover the bread and butter pudding with a wet paper towel and let marinate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350F/180C and sprinkle the demerara sugar on top of the pudding, when the oven is heated place pudding into the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown, the internal temperature should be a minimum of 170F/77C, the inside of the pudding should be set but still have a slow wobble. Let cool for 10 minutes then serve. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 5 days. Delicious served warm or cold, with custard or ice cream.

Steps:

• Butter the slices all over, both sides and line the dish.
• Sprinkle over the dried fruit or other fruits (fig and banana -- ).
• Sprinkle approximately 2TB brown sugar over that and add a cover of more buttered bread, covering all the fruit.
• Pierce the bread a few times and then slowly pour over the milk, letting it all soak into the bread before adding more. When the bread is really sopping with milk sprinkle about 1TB more brown sugar over the top and then a little cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg.
• Bake in a low oven, approx 140C, 275F, for a couple of hours until it rises up and the sugar caramelizes on top.

Steps:

• Put the oven on to 180C / 170C fan / Gas 4Cut the panettone into 2.5 cm / 1" cubes.
• Melt the butter and then use a pastry brush to butter a deep baking dish. Choose a dish that is about 6" x 8".Next, arrange the cubes of panettone in the dish.
• Put the cream, milk, vanilla extract, eggs and sugar into a bowl. Whisk lightly with a fork to break up the eggs and combine the ingredients. You don't need to work too hard at this!
• Pour the custard mixture over the panettone. Take care to drizzle it evenly over the panettone.
• Use the back of a spoon to lightly press the cubes into the liquid so they absorb it. Do this as gently as possible, because you want them to spring back up. Don't squash them!
• Scatter the chocolate chips over the panettone. Now drizzle the remaining melted butter over any of the bread that is not submerged in the custard mix.
• Pop into the oven and bake for 35 minutes. When the pudding is ready, it will be fluffy and golden, with the custard set.
• Allow your bread and butter pudding to cool a little before you serve. Dust it lightly with icing sugar for a final flourish.
