16/7/2005
Serves 8
Ingredients
| 1 | French stick |
| 50 g | Butter |
| ½ cup | Currants |
| ½ cup | Saltanas |
| 1 tsp | Mixed spice |
| 1 tsp | Vanilla |
| 2 | Eggs |
| 150 ml | Cream |
| 250 ml | Milk |
| 2 tbsp | Caster sugar |
| 300 ml | Custard |
| ½ cup | Whisky |
Directions
- Preheat oven to 160°C. Spray a one litre-size baking or lasagne dish with nonstick baking spray. Slice the French bread into toast-thick slices and butter each slice. Arrange the slices, butter side up, in the dish. Sprinkle with currants and sultanas.
- Whisk the spice, vanilla, eggs, cream, milk and caster sugar. Pour over the bread. Leave to rest for 10 minutes. Place the dish in a deep roasting pan. Fill with hot water to come three-quarters of the way up the sides of the pudding dish. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the filling lightly set.
- If desired, dust it with icing sugar. Mix the custard with whisky to taste and serve with the warm pudding. Serve with pouring or lightly whipped cream as well.
