BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING
========================
Serves 4 (or a greedy 2, or even a really piggy 1)

Ingredients
-----------
6       slices white bread, stale or fresh
Currants, sultanas or raisins (enough to take in generous handfuls)
Butter or margarine
2       eggs
1/2 pt  milk (that's 10 fl oz to ppl in the US - not 8!)
Sugar

Instructions:
-------------
1. Preheat the oven to 210 deg. C/Gas Mark 6.

2.  Butter the bread, hack the crusts off and cuts into strips (or
"soldiers")

3.  Place some of the "soldiers" butter side down in a 1 litre (2 pint)
ovenproof glass bowl - enough to cover the bottom.

4.  Sprinkle a handful of the dried fruit over the bread.

5.  Sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar over the fruit.

6.  Place more "soldiers" at right angles to the last lot (my methods
are terrible!) , making sure you line the bowl.

7.  Repeat stages 4 to 6 until you have run out of bread or filled the
bowl (the two things *do* usually happen together, thank goodness)

8.  Beat the two eggs in another bowl with the milk.

9.  Pour the mixture over the bread, fruit and sugar and leave to stand
for at least 30 minutes.

10.  Put bowl in oven and cook until the bread has turned golden brown
and the egg/milk mixture has set (about 30 to 40 mins).

Can be eaten hot or cold (probably better cold).

A delicious variant, although somewhat messy to prepare, is to thickly
spread lemon curd on the bread at stage 2 before hacking the crusts,
etc.  If you *do* give this version a go, you're better off leaving it
to go cold, preferably for at least a day, because the lemon taste
becomes stronger with the passage of time.  Strange, but true.

ORANGE BREAKFAST BREAD PUDDING
==============================

Ingredients:
------------
3 cups      of whole milk
3 cups      whipping cream
1 1/2 cups  sugar
3 eggs      plus 11 egg yolks
1 tblsp     vanilla
1 1/2 lb    white bread (I used french - toasted and buttered)
10          oranges peeled and sectioned
Cinnamon
Creme Anglaise (follows)

Instructions:
-------------
Preheat oven to 325 F.

Scald milk and cream.  In a separate bowl whisk sugar, eggs, yolks.  Add
cream mixture and whisk vigorously.  Stir in vanilla.  Strain into a
bowl.

To assemble:
------------
Layer toased bread, orange sections and cinnamon in 7 or 8 individual
2 cup bowls or charlotte molds.  Place in a bain-marie (water bath) filled
with hot water about halfway up the pudding dishes.  Bake 30-40 minutes
until the custard is firm.  Remove from the water bath.  Refrigerate to
store.  Reheat in bowls in a 300 degree oven for serving.  Turn out of
molds onto serving plates and serve with Creme Anglaise.

Creme Anglaise:
---------------
2 cups          each of milk and whipping cream
1 1/2 cups      sugar
12              egg yolks
1/2 - 3/4 cups  of orange juice.

Scald milk and cream.  In a separate bowl whisk sugar and egg yolks.
Add milk mixture and whisk vigorously.  Heat over low to med heat until
mixture will coat the back of a wooden spoon. Whisk in orange juice.
Strain and let cool over an ice bath.

I made 1/2 of the quantity and it made enough for 6-8 people.  The next
time I will probably use orange slices instead of segments.  Finally
adding Contreau(sp?) or Grand Marnier to the Creme Anglaise finishes it
perfectly.

RASPBERRY BREAD PUDDING
=======================

Ingredients:
------------
1 loaf    french bread, cut into 12 slices, on the diagonal,
approx 3/4" thick and allowed to dry.
unsalted butter
1 quart   milk
1" piece  vanilla bean
8         eggs
6 tblsp   Framboise (non-sweet raspberry brandy)
1 cup     sugar
10 oz     fresh or frozen raspberries

Instructions:
-------------
Butter each slice of bread on both sides.  Put milk in heavy sauce pan.
Split vanilla lengthwise, and add to milk.  Heat milk over medium heat
until nearly boiling.  Remove vanilla bean and scrape seeds into milk.
While milk is heating, put eggs, sugar and Framboise in a mixing bowl
and whisk until smooth.  After scraping vanilla seeds into milk, slowly
whisk hot milk into egg mixture, creating a smooth custard.  Put four
slices of bread in the bottom of an ungreased, 3" deep baking dish with
cover.  Place 1/2 of the raspberries on top of the bread, and then pour
in 1/3 of the custard.  Add a second layer of bread.  Top this with the
rest of the raspberries, and another 1/3 of the custard.  Add the last
layer of bread and top with the remainder of the custard.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.  Cover the custard dish and place in
oven, in another, larger dish, and add hot water to the outside dish
until it reaches half way up the sides of the inner dish.  Bake for 45
minutes.  Remove the inner dish from the water, and return it to the
oven for another 30 minutes.  [NOTE: this is where it tends to get
out-of-hand on me :-)].  Remove cover [if it hasn't already been pushed
off :-)] and bake for a final 15 minutes.

Allow to cool (room temperature, or a little warm), cut and serve!
