1/2loafbread, about 5 cups, cubed into 3/4-1" pieces, stale bread recommended
1/4cupbutter, melted
Custard:
1cupmilk
1cuphalf and half cream, 10% b.f, or 18% table cream or 35% whipping cream for a richer pudding
3largeeggs
1teaspoonvanilla
1/4cuplight brown sugar
1/3cuporange marmalade
1Tablespoonwhiskey or bourbon, optional
For serving:
Icing/confectioners' sugar, for garnish/serving
Instructions
Cube bread and place into a large bowl. Drizzle with melted butter and toss to coat. Drop the marmalade in by spoonfuls and toss to coat/combine. Set aside while you make the custard.
For the custard, combine all the custard ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk well to combine.
Pour custard over bread cubes and toss well. Allow mixture to soak for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350F (not fan-assisted).
Once bread has soaked, spoon mixture into individual ramekins or one large baking dish. Pour any custard liquid left in the bowl into the ramekins, if it will fit. *If ramekins are super-full, you may wish to bake on top of a baking sheet.
Bake in preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until they they test set. Test by inserting a knife into the centre of the pudding. It should come out clean.
Serve warm or at room temperature, dusted with icing/confectioners/ sugar. Refrigerate any leftovers for up to 2 days.
Notes
Tips!You can tweak the amount of brown sugar added to the custard to your taste.You can use any size dish for this bread pudding, either individual ramekins or one larger baking dish. I'm not exactly sure of the size for a one-pan bread pudding, as I haven't tried it, but logically, a dish large enough to hold it all :)Be sure to use up all the custard mixture. After you spoon the soaked mixture into a dish (or dishes), pour any custard mixture left in the bottom of the bowl into the dishes if there's room.Be sure to read the notes above the recipe card for more tips on making this recipe.
