Marmalade Bread and Butter Pudding

Everyone in Sri Lanka makes Bread Pudding. I know its different to a bread and butter pudding but I don't really know the difference. Do tell me if you know! For years I've been making a simple strawberry bread and butter pudding. It has always been the usual at home just before the bread goes stale.

I thought I'll change things up a bit this time and make a Marmalade Bread and Butter Pudding. I've always loved marmalade especially with crepes but that is a different story ....... and bread well... it should say something that I have bread everyday for lunch.

Marmalade Bread and Butter Pudding with Red Berries (as usual I had a bag of them in the freezer)... yummers

Marmalade Bread and Butter Pudding

• 10 slices of bread (Keep the crusts on. The crusty and soft bits together taste better)
• Butter for spreading
• Marmalade for spreading
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1 cup single cream
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cups red berries; currants, raspberries, strawberries etc

Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

Butter the bread slices with butter. Spread marmalade on 5 of the slides and make sandwiches with remaining slices.

Arrange in an oven-proof dish.

In a large bowl whisk together milk, cream, eggs, sugar and vanilla. Slowly stir in the berries.

Pour over the bread and let it soak for a few minutes.

Place oven-proof dish in a deep baking dish.

Add boiling water to the baking dish, enough to come up to half way of the sides of the oven-proof dish. I used a large roasting tray for this

Bake for one hour and serve when warm with runny custard.
