Reduced Cabinet Bingo Part 1: Bread & Butter Pudding

[miss_s_b]

The deli counter reduced cabinet was a bit of a bust, but the bread counter one was an embarrassment of riches (even got some Pokemon mini rolls for the daughter). So you're going to get a couple of posts, I'm afraid...

Firstly, Bread and Butter Pudding. Normal Bread and Butter Pudding, not the Extremely Boozy variant.


Equipment Required:

• Deep lasagne dish or similar that holds at least 2 pints.
• Oven.
• Balloon whisk.
• Measuring jug.
• 1 tbsp measuring spoon
• Butter knife

Ingredients:

• 6 thick or 8 medium slices of bread (today I used Hovis lower carb white, reduced from £1.00 to £0.55)
• Some butter
• Some dried fruit (today I used sultanas)
• 3 eggs
• 1 pint of milk (or ⅔ pt milk, ⅓ pt cream if you're feeling healthy)
• 4 tbsps brown sugar
• Nutmeg/cinnamon/mace/vanilla extract to taste (today I used ground mixed spice because I was feeling lazy).

Method:

• Pre heat the oven to 180^oc electric/160^oc fan/gas mark 4.
• Butter all the bread.
• Grease the inside of the dish with butter too.
• Cover the bottom of the lasagne dish with bread
• Sprinkle sultanas over the layer of bread, then spices if you're using them, then add another layer of bread...
• Keep layering fruit and bread til you've used up your bread, and give it a final sprinkle of spices on top
• In your measuring jug whisk together your milk, eggs and half the sugar.
• Pour it over the bread & butter & fruit (slowly so it soaks in).
• Sprinkle the rest of the sugar on top.
• Stick it in the oven for 40 minutes or so till it's golden brown and risen.

Here's what it looked like before it went in the oven, with the packet for the bread with reduced sticker showing:



And here's what it looked like cooked:

Lower carb, even! OMNOMNOM

Yeah, the Hovis lower carb bread is nice (It's higher protein as well as lower carb) but it's normally stupidly expensive.

It's normally £1.00 for a half size loaf, and the nice seedy bread I usually get is £0.85 for a full size loaf.
