How to make the best bread pudding?

Answer 1

Here the best bread pudding...

~~~~~~~~ Honeyed Bread and Butter Pudding ~~~~~~~~
Golden-brown bread and butter pudding has added flavour when it is baked with rum or brandy and a hint of nutmeg. This dish uses less butter than traditional recipes, and sweet honey instead of sugar.
Serves 4.
Oven: Preheat to 350 degF, gas mark 4

4 thin slices white bread
2oz / 50g butter
4oz / 115g currants
3 medium eggs
1/2 lemon
1/2 pint / 285ml whole or semi-skimmed milk
2 tbsp brandy or rum (optional)
2 tbsp honey
1/2 level tsp grated or ground nutmeg

Butter the slices of bread and cut each slice into 4 triangles. Grease a 1 pint / 570ml pie dish and arrange the bread in layers, sprinkling each with currants. The final layer must be butter-side up.
Separate the yolk from one of the eggs and grate the rind of 1/2 a lemon. Beat the egg yolk, the 2 whole eggs and the milk together, then stir in the lemon rind. Add the optional brandy or rum. Pour the liquid over the bread and spoon over the honey. Leave to stand for 1 hour.
Sprinkle the top of the pudding with nutmeg and bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes, until well risen with a golden-brown top. Serve .

Enjoy & good luck!..._;-)

Answer 2

Normandy Pudding

* 6 ounces bread crumbs
* 6 ounces sugar
* 6 small sour cooking apples
* 1 saltspoon ground cloves
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* 1 lemon

Peel, slice and core the apples, or chop them up not too finely; put them with all the other dry ingredients in a basin, and stir well. When thoroughly mixed, add the lemon juice and the finely grated rind of a half of it; also, a little brandy or rum if liked.Pour the mixture into a well greased mold, and tie over a greased cloth or paper, and steam for about three hours. Serve with white wine sauce. The use of rum or brandy is optional. The pudding is much more tasty if one or the other is added. Serve both the sauce and the pudding very hot as the latter is not so delicious when cold.
