Recipe information-Minted New Potato and Broad Bean Salad
30 minutes
Ingredients
- 8 slices of white bread
- 50g unsalted butter
- 2 oranges (zested)
- 4 eggs
- 100g caster sugar
- 500ml whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 50g sultanas
Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 180°C and grease a baking dish with a bit of butter. Then, take your slices of white bread and generously butter each one. Cut the bread into triangles and arrange them in the dish, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle the orange zest over the bread - this is where the magic happens!
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and caster sugar until light and fluffy. Slowly pour in the milk while continuing to whisk, then add the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon. Give it a good mix and pour the custard mixture over the bread in the baking dish. Make sure all the bread is soaked in the custard - this is where the pudding gets its luscious texture.
Now, scatter the sultanas over the top of the pudding and pop it in the oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and crispy. Once it's done, take it out of the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. You can enjoy it warm or cold, with a dollop of cream or a scoop of ice cream on the side.
Conclusion
I promise you, this Orange-Scented Bread and Butter Pudding will become a firm favorite in your household. The zesty orange flavor adds a refreshing twist to this traditional dessert, making it a real crowd pleaser. So, why not treat yourself and your loved ones to a slice of British comfort food heaven? Happy baking, my friends!
