Made in America: Bread Pudding / Budino di Pane

Photobucket

Bread pudding is not a fancy dessert, but it’s darned good! It’s good for kids, too, as dessert, a snack or even a breakfast. Just mentally compare a factory made chocolate tube filled with an anonymous white fluffy substance to what’s in this delicious treat.

Bread Pudding

serves 6

preheat the oven to 325°F or 165°C

9 slices of stale white bread, toasted and buttered
500 ml or 2 cups of milk
2 eggs, beaten into the milk
105 g or 1/2 cup sugar, beaten into the milk
a good handful or 1/2 cup of raisins, preferably soaked in rum beforehand
2 tablespoons of rum drained off the raisins (or a teaspoon of vanilla if you are a spoilsport)
Cinnamon

In a low baking dish, arrange the toasted and buttered bread slices. Scatter the raisins among the bread slices. Pour the milk mixture over it all. Gently push the bread down a bit until all of it has been wet, then allow them to float up again so there will be crisp bits. If you have any butter lying around, stick it all over the top of this. Sprinkle the entire top generously with cinnamon.

Put into the oven and cook it about 45 minutes, or until when you insert a table knife into the center, it comes out clean. Serve warm the first time, but leftovers can be gently heated or served cold.

Questo dolce è ideale per bambini, ma gli adulti lo mangieranno con uguale passione. Sano, buono e facile, si può cucinarlo e tenerlo in frigo per la merenda dopo scuola, mentre non indivinano i bambini che è tanto più sano che Kinder! Il problemma potrebbe essere che Babbo lo mangierebbe prima che gli bambini tornassi da scuola.

Guarda! Che bontà !

Budino di pane

Per 6 persone

riscalda il forno a 165°

9 fette di pane a cassetta raffermo o una quantità simile d’un altro pane, tostato leggermente
burro spalmato sul pane tostato
500 ml latte
2 uova sbattate nel latte
105 g zucchero
una mancia di uvette (anche meglio se sono marinate al rhum)
2 cucchiai di rhum
canella

Mette il pane tostato e sburatto in una pirofila bassa. Disperde le uvette sul pane. Mescolate il latte, le uova, lo zucchero e il rhum bene, bene con una forchetta, e mette il misto sul pane nella pirofila. Usando le mani, spinge il pane sotto il latte per assicurarsi e bagnato. Spolvere la superficie con la canella.

Infornarlo per circa 45 minuti, fino a un coltello di tavolo inserto nel centro esce pulito. Toglie subito e servirlo caldo la prima volta. Tenerlo in frigo e mangia i resti freddi o alla temperatura ambientale.

@betty:

After April I’d be pleased to share it? It’s a recipe that can be made anywhere there’s something that works like an oven– even a dutch oven would work. Who can’t come up with some version of these base ingredients? Thanks for commenting, Betty.

Is this the same glorious pud that we ate or have you made another one, you minx!

I can tell you it tasted good, real good, good for dessert, good for a midnight snack and good for breakfast the next day. This has got to be one of my all time favourite foods. Thanks again Judith.

Now I am sorry I didn’t make a triple recipe! Such appreciation…

That\’s a coincidence, I made it for dinner last night but substituted stale panettone for the bread and 50/50 milk and cream. Made a fool of myself in the alimentari by complaining about the price of cream.

I can\’t help converting Euros to Australian dollars and it worked out at $6 for 500ml of cream. Am I just getting old or is this expensive?!

Yum!

@RobynS:

Half a liter of cream? 6 $AU doesn’t sound too bad… but maybe someone should answer who knows better since I buy a bit when I need it and never think of the price!
