Bread pudding recipe?

Hiya

Have some stale bread that needs using and made a bread pudding last year and cant find the recipe....help!! Dont need it till tomorrow, but will put in oven whilst chicken is cooking. Dont like bread and butter pudding as its too wet, but love the old fashioned bread pudding. Im sure I had to soak bread in water first:confused:

Also, would this be ok to freeze?

Thanks guys

    I use the hit and miss receipe.

    Its soaked bread, suet, demerea sugar , dried fruit and treacle.

    I love mine warm with butter and sugar on too.

    Bread Pudding

    8oz bread (made into breadcrumbs)
    1/2 pint water
    3 heaped tbs mixed spice
    3oz sugar (use whatever sugar you have)
    6oz mixed fruit
    1 egg
    1 1/2 oz melted marge
    orange juice (I use Tesco Value orange juice)

    Make the bread into bread crumbs in a food processor

    Pour water onto the breadcrumbs and add a couple of fluid oz of orange juice
    over the breadcrumbs. Mix the mixed spice, sugar, miced fruit, beaten egg and melted marge into the breadcrumb mix.

    Put mixture into a greased dish. Sprinkle the top with ground cinnamon or nutmeg and bake at approx 150 for about 3/4 - 1 hour. When you take the bread pudding out of the oven, sprinkle it with sugar whilst it's still hot (it stays on top of the pudding if you do it whilst it's hot).

    I usually double or treble the quantity and bake it in a roasting tin.

    You can eat it hot or cold and with custard or ice cream.

    I did post this reciepe onto the Reciepe Board a while ago but don't know how to attach it to this message!

    Hope that you enjoy this

    You don't have to squeeze out the water with this receipe as there is just about enough moisture to make this pudding. You just have to add the water and a large glug of fresh orange juice (you can add more for a nicer flavour if you want).

    PP - as MrsMW says you should be resting - why dont you turn the stale bread into breadcrumbs and put in the freezer - then you could make the lovely Chicken and Brocolli Crumble that is in the recipe collection

    Or another alternative is Danish Peasant Girl With a Veil which is basically alternate layers of cold cooked apple puree and breadcrumbs fried in butter with demerara sugar and cream on top if you're feeling racy [the recipe did also suggest a layer of raspberry jam on top of the last layer of crumbs before adding the cream] We had this at the weekend after I finally got my act together and whizzed all those old bread crusts together in true OS instead of putting them out for the birds!!

    Does anyone have a bread pudding recipe? Ive usually got left over crusts etc, but looking through my various cook books there only seems to be bread and butter pudding.
