Bread & Butter Pudding

My Bread and Butter Pudding

Sorry I keep forgetting to take a photo......

This is my version of bread and butter pudding with low sugar. This will serve 9 people

INGREDIENTS:

• 25g butter, plus extra for greasing

• 10 g of Inulin (see below)

• 15 thin slices bread. Old is best but make sure there is no green mould.

• 50g sultanas

• 1 Lt of semi skimmed milk (I have also used long life milk)

• 4 drops of sweetener, I use toffee flavour

• 4 free-range eggs ( I have my own chickens)

• nutmeg, grated, to taste

DESCRIPTION and how to build

Us a 1.6Lt oven dish

Pour the milk into a jug and add the four eggs and inulin and mix well

Cut the crusts off your bread and place to cover bottom which should leave you some for the top.

Then add a layer of sultanas

butter five slices and lay butter side down

add another layer of sultanas

Butter the last five slices and lay butter side down

The cut the last few crusts into small bits. These will then go crusty

some people like to add another layer of sultanas but I find they go hard and I like them soft and juicy

Pour the milk and egg mixture slowly allowing it to soak into the bread and allow to stand for at least 10 min. Any mixture over use for making your custard.

Grate some nutmeg to taste.

Heat oven to 180 C (fan) bake for 40 mins or until golden brown

Make your own custard and enjoy

I have used Inulin as it is a natural soluble dietary fiber that comes from roots of the chicory plant. It has health benefits that can aid the reduction of Visceral fat forming. Inulin is not digested or absorbed in the stomach. It goes to the bowels where bacteria are able to use it to grow. It supports the growth of a special kind of bacteria that are associated with improving bowel function and general health. Inulin decreases the body's ability to make certain kinds of fats like Visceral fat. Inulin can be applied to develop tasty, healthy food products. Besides fiber enrichment it can be used to replace sugar and fat while improving taste.
