Halogen Oven Recipes – Bread & Butter Pudding

This is one of my favourite puddings, and just because there are so few recipes out there for puddings we thought we’d share this one with you!!

Bread & Butter Pudding
Serves 4

Ingredients
25g butter, plus extra for greasing 8 thin slices bread
50g/2oz sultana’s 2 tsp cinnamon
350ml whole milk 50ml double cream
2 free-range eggs 25g granulated sugar
nutmeg, grated, to taste

Instructions

1. Grease a casserole dish with butter. Cut the crusts off the bread. Butter the bread on one side, and then cut into triangles.
2. 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, and then repeat the layers of bread and sultanas, sprinkling with cinnamon, until you have used up all of the bread.
3. Finish with a layer of bread, and then set aside.
4. Gently warm the milk in a pan over a low heat but don’t let it boil.
   Crack the eggs into a bowl, add three quarters of the sugar and lightly whisk until pale.
5. 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 and sprinkle with nutmeg and the remaining sugar and leave to stand for 30 minutes.
6. Place the dish into the Halogen oven on medium heat on lower rack and bake for 15-20 minutes at 220C, or until the custard has set and the top is golden-brown.

Happy Cooking
