Does anyone else still make their own bread pudding?
Most people I talk to about it have either never heard of it or just think of the shop bought version (bland and dry imho).
My family love it either with custard or on its own and it means that I very very rarely throw any bread away.
Another one is Macaroni pudding made the same way as rice pudding. My eldest son went on a school trip a few years ago and made this on a hob for the rest of the lads and teacher on the trip, not one person had ever even heard of eating macaroni this way.
I grew up enjoying both of these, but they seem to have been forgotton nowadays (ooooh I feel old now :rolleyes: )

I used to make this with my Nan when I was little! Do you have a recipe - my little girl is a right pudding fan and would love it!0

Oooh yes,I make bread pud alot-excellent way of using up bread crusts that I can't bear to throw away 'cos i made them.
I leave out the egg in my recipe as dd is allergic and it makes no difference to the pud and saves price of an egg.
The other day I made a particularly delish version using leftover mincemat to replace all the dried fruit and spices.Yum yum.
I also make suet puds,treacle tart(fave pud of Harry Potter),crumbles,choc fudge pud and others that I can't remember just now.We save them for the weekend and have fruit during the week.0 -
Oh yes - puddings Yum
There are quite a few posts on here about the humble bread and butter puds as well as other favourites. In the recipe thread you'll find some good 'uns too.
Since I've become more OS, I've put on too much weight though I put it all down to the fact that I like to make a pud. Tonight we had apple sponge and custard - what a fab way to use up some past their best eating apples, esp when the kids love the sponge and custard too.
I love milk puds too - tapioca is my fave, although I have to admit that as a girl guide, my nick-name was ambrosia, on account of the amount of rice pud I could put away in a single sitting :whistle:0 -
This is my recipe if anyone's interested.It makes a huge pud-I use a large roasting tin,I freeze leftovers.
soak together for a couple of hours
2 lb breadcrumbs/crusts-any bread
1 pt milk
beat the lumps out with a fork-it doesn't have to be completely smooth
add
4 oz soft brown sugar
1 lb mixed dried fruit and/or candied peel
2 oz self-raising flour
3 tsp mixed spice
1 packet of melted butter(or 250g melted marge if you must)
2 tbsp golden syrup
1 tbsp marmalade(not essential)
mix well, pour into large greased tin/dish
bake for 1 hour at 180c(not sure what gas)
