Bread and Butter Pudding
Ingredients
2 Egg(s)
2 Tbsp Granulated white sugar
800 ml Milk
2 tsp Vanilla essence
5 Slices of bread
1 Tbsp Butter
2 Tbsp Raisins
Nutmeg (grated)
Method
Pre-heat the oven to 150�C.
Thinly spread the slices of bread (usually white bread) with butter and layer them into a baking dish. You may need to cut the bread into halves or quarters to fit. Sprinkle the raisins over the bread.
Heat the milk in a saucepan until it starts to rise. Meanwhile beat the eggs in a bowl with the sugar and vanilla. Pour the milk over the eggs beating well to prevent the egg from scrambling. Pour the milk mixture over the bread. Grate some nutmeg over the pudding.
Stand the baking dish in a pan of cold water and bake until golden brown and set.
Variation
Marmalade Replace the raisins with some marmalade. Spread the marmalade over the buttered bread and proceed as normal.
Lemon Add some lemon juice and zest to the milk mixture taking care not to curdle it.
