BRITISH BASICS - A Classic Bread and Butter Pudding

Here we go with a super easy dessert - a bread and butter pudding (or just bread pudding if you live "Up North" LOL) The video probably took longer to film than the prep work before cooking so it is a speedy dish too. Bits of kit used in this video: Mixing Bowl: https://amzn.to/3Cpyq8l Salter Scales: https://amzn.to/3Z8Xla6 Bamboo Chopping Board: https://amzn.to/2RDX7Gx Tefal Everyday Induction Hob: https://amzn.to/38a0qwq Le Creuset Toughened Non-Stick Saucepan Set: https://amzn.to/3uToVbb Sage Combi Wave 3-in-1 Oven: https://amzn.to/3CoNIbj BREAD & BUTTER PUDDING INGREDIENTS 250ml full-fat milk 300ml double cream 1 vanilla pod, halved and seeds scraped out, or 1tsp vanilla extract 3 whole large eggs, plus 1 egg yolk 3TBSP golden caster sugar 8 slices of day-old white bread 50g salted butter, softened plus extra for greasing 75g mix of sultanas and currants or other dried fruit Zest of 1 lemon 2TBSP demerara sugar METHOD Custard: Heat the milk, cream, and vanilla pod with its scraped-out seeds (if using) together in a saucepan to just below boiling point. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs and yolk with the caster sugar in a jug or bowl. Slowly pour the warm milk mixture, including the vanilla pod, over the eggs, stirring constantly until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract now if using. Pudding: Lightly butter an ovenproof dish approximately 20cm x 25cm x 5cm. Cut the crusts from the bread slices, then butter both sides of the bread and cut into triangles. Lay half of the bread slices in the bottom of the dish so that they are slightly overlapping. Sprinkle half of the dried fruit and half of the lemon zest over the bread. Remove the vanilla pod from the custard then pour the custard over the pudding. Layer the rest of the bread on top then sprinkle over the remaining fruit and lemon zest. Leave to soak, on the worktop, for at least 30 mins. Heat oven to 180°C/160°C/gas 4. Sprinkle over the demerara sugar and bake for 35-40 mins until golden brown and puffed up. ▶--------COFFEE---------◀ If you fancy buying me a cup of coffee to help support the channel, then here is the link. https://www.PayPal.Me/digwellgreenfin....
