Using your loaf....

In the kitchen cupboard lives a little box. This little box.

It belongs to my Mum and contains index cards with recipes for a multitude of different dishes. But with a loaf of bread sat on the side I knew exactly what card I was looking.....

Bread Pudding.

550g Bread
300g Fruit
150g Brown Sugar
1 tbsp Mixed Spice
150g Marg/Butter
2 eggs
Splash of milk.

Tear all the bread up and place in a large bowl. Cover with water and leave to soak for at least half an hour.


Squeeze out the excess water. I drained away as much as I could then put the bread in a tea towel and squeezed out as much excess as I could - the more you can get out now the less time it'll have to spend in the oven later.



Add all the other ingredients to the bowl and mix.



Line a tin with greaseproof paper and add the mixture.


Pop in the oven on Gas Mark 3 for an hour.


I think mine stayed in the oven for about two hours in the end, not enough moisture rung out at the earlier stage. But a tip for next time I guess.


Perfect pudding to snuggle up with on a cold winter day.

Happy Baking.
