Nanny's Bread Pudding
A firm favourite in my family served warm or cold, my wifes aka Nanny's bread pudding is the best.

- 300 ml Milk
- 225 g Dried mixed fruit e.g. sultana, raisins, currants
- 1 Tea Bag
- 50 g Suet
- 2 tsp Mixed spice
- 50 g Soft brown sugar
- 1 Egg beaten
- 1 tbsp Granulated sugar
- Butter for greasing the tin
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/Fan 160°C/Gas 4
- Break the bread into small pieces and put into a bowl
- Put the dried fruit into a bowl with a tea bag and pour over boiling water. Stir carefully to separate the fruit and leave to soak for 15 minutes. Drain the rehydrated fruit discarding the water.
- Add the brown sugar, suet, egg, spice and rehydrated fruit to the bread pieces and mix well to combine.

- Butter a square or rectangular 20cm non-stick baking tin

- Take out of oven and sprinkle over the granulated sugar
- Leave to cool in the tin
Notes
Brilliant served warm with custard!
I like a thicker bread pudding so I use a deep 20cm baking tin and double the quantities to fill it.
