-
For apricot bread and butter pudding:
- Spread each slice of bread with a light layer butter and then with the apricot jam.
- Cut the bread into diagonal halves.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk and vanilla essence.
- Place the bread in an oven proof dish and create an even layer then add on a third of the dried fruits and repeat until all of the fruit and bread have been used.
- Evenly pour the milk and egg mixture over the bread.
- Leave the pudding for a few minutes to allow the bread time to absorb some of the liquid.
- Then sprinkle over the caster sugar and mixed spice.
- Bake at 180°C for 25-30 min. or until the custard is set.
- Serve warm with the cinnamon custard.
