Bread Pudding
Ingredients
6 slices of bread
4 eggs
2 tablespoons butter
¾ cup sugar
750ml full cream milk
3 heaped tablespoon custard
¼ cup coconut
1 tablespoon vanilla essence
½ teaspoon fine cinnamon
Pinch of cardamom and/or nutmeg
Pinch of salt
Method
Preheat oven to 180 degrees
Add all ingredients to a blender. Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth
Spray a medium rectangle Pyrex dish with spray and cook and pour in your mixture
Bake on 180 degrees on the lower rack of the oven for 45 minutes until the top is golden brown and a slightly cracked crust is formed
Once done, remove from the oven and brush over apricot jam
Turn off the oven but return the pudding to the warm oven to rest and settle for 20 minutes
Milk Tart
Ingredients for the base
250g soft butter (not melted)
125g sifted icing sugar
2 eggs
2 heaped cups flour
Method for the base
Cream the eggs, soft butter and sifted icing sugar until smooth
Fold in the flour and mix with a wooden spoon until it forms a soft dough (If the dough is too sticky, the butter was too soft, add an extra ½ cup flour)
Press into a large black oven tray, ensuring you form a crust over the sides
Pop in the freezer for 20 minutes
Ingredients for the milk custard
8 large eggs (you can use 7 if you prefer it less firm)
2 tablespoons custard powder
A pinch of salt
2 tablespoons vanilla essence
1 Tin Condensed Milk
1¼ cups cold milk
1 cup cold water
3 tablespoons soft butter (cut in 12 small pieces)
Fine Cinnamon for dusting
Method for the milk custard
In mixer whisk the eggs, custard, salt, vanilla essence and condensed milk until smooth
Add in the milk and water and whisk until well combined
Lastly, add the pieces of butter
Pour over the chilled base and dust with cinnamon
Bake on 180degrees for 50 minutes on the lower part of the oven (Do not preheat the oven)
Once the custard starts to expand and bubble, it’s done!
