Ah, bread pudding! It’s a classic comfort dish that’s a fantastic way to use up that loaf of sliced white bread. Here’s a simple yet scrumptious recipe for you.
Ingredients
- Sliced white bread: About 8-10 slices
- Milk: 2 cups (475 ml)
- Eggs: 3
- Sugar: ¾ cup (150g)
- Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
- Butter: 4 tablespoons (melted)
- Optional: A handful of raisins, sultanas, or chocolate chips for added flavour!
- Optional: A pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg, if you fancy a bit of spice.
Instructions
- Prep the Bread: Tear or cut the bread slices into smaller pieces. If you want a richer pudding, you can lightly butter each slice before tearing it.
- Make the Custard Mix: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined. Add in the melted butter and mix.
- Add the Bread: Place the torn bread pieces into the custard mixture. Gently press down so the bread is submerged. Let it soak for about 10-15 minutes.
- Add Extras: If you’re using raisins, sultanas, chocolate chips, or any spices, stir them into the mixture now.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the bread and custard mix into a greased baking dish. Bake for about 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
- Serve & Enjoy: Once baked, let it cool slightly. Serve warm, perhaps with a whipped cream dollop or caramel sauce drizzle.
And just for a laugh: If bread pudding were a British bloke, he’d be the kind who’s unassuming at first glance but has layers of charm and warmth once you get to know him. A true heartwarming classic! 😄🍞🍮🇬🇧
Give it a go and let me know how it turns out. Bon appétit or, as they say in Spanish, “¡Buen provecho!” 🍽️😊
