Don't confuse Bread Pudding with Bread and Butter Pudding, they are somewhat different. Both use stale bread, but bread pudding can be cut into squares and eaten with the fingers. It is economical and tasty.
This recipe was served with caramel sauce and was a big hit at the recent British Club Pub. night. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 8" sq. tray.
Ingredients
10 slices of stale white bread, crusts removed
Half pint milk
8 ounces mixed dried fruit
Grated zest one lemon, one orange
Half cup soft brown sugar
1 tablespoon mixed spice
Quarter stick unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for greasing
Method
Soak bread in milk for about 30 minutes. Now squeeze out all the excess moisture. Do this by placing the milk soaked bread in a colander and pressing with the back of a large spoon.
Put the bread in a large bowl. Mash with a fork until it looks rather like smooth oatmeal. Add the fruit, orange and lemon zest, brown sugar, spice and melted butter. Stir together well.
Tur this mixture into the prepared pan. Cook for 1 and half hours. Allow pudding to cool in pan.
5-10 minutes before turning out. Cut into squares. Serve with caramel sauce if desired.
