BREAD (BIRD FOOD) PUDDING




The delicious smell of cinnamon, nutmeg, glove and brown sugar baking fill the air at Karanambu when the bread pudding is baking in the kitchen. In true Karanambu style, we serve it with "Lashings of Creme".
 

Ingredients
  • day-old bread
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup raisins or dates (optional)
  • 4 eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • a sprinkle of glove
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Tear bread into small pieces into a glass baking bowl. Drizzle melted butter over bread. If desired, sprinkle with raisins, dates or any other dried fruit.  
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, glove and vanilla. Beat until well mixed. Pour over bread, and lightly push down  until bread is covered and soaking up the egg mixture.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top springs back when lightly tapped.
