Boozy Panettone Bread And Butter Pudding Recipes

PANETTONE BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING

Steps:

• To start the custard base, bring the milk and cream just to a boil in a saucepan. Cut the vanilla pod in half, scrape out the seeds and add to the pan with the zest. Whisk the eggs with the sugar until pale. Add the milk and cream and remove the vanilla.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (160 degrees C/Gas 3).
• Dip each slice of panettone into the custard and pile into a buttered baking dish. Pour the remaining custard slowly over the bread, place the dish in a roasting pan and fill halfway with hot water. Sprinkle with the icing sugar and bake for about 45 minutes. When cooked, it will have a slight crust on top, but will still be slightly wobbly inside.

BOOZY PANETTONE BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 150C fan/170C. Heat the amaretto in a small saucepan until just under boiling, then turn off the heat, and add in the raisins, stir, then leave them to marinate. 2. Whisk the egg yolks with the caster sugar, then slowly whisk in the single cream. Set aside. 3. Cut the pannetone into quarters, and cut each quarter into 1 ½ cm slices. Reserve five slices in ascending order of size to form your Christmas tree at the end, and arrange the rest in the roasting tin (I find this easiest to do by arranging them 'standing up' on the widest base of each triangle.) 4. Pour 2/3 of the custard mixture over the pannetone, squashing it down well, then scatter over the raisins and warm amaretto. Arrange the five reserved slices in a Christmas tree shape as pictured, then pour over the remaining custard, squashing the pannetone down gently. Transfer to the oven to bake for 25 minutes, until golden brown on top, but still soft within. 5. Dust with icing sugar and edible stars before serving hot. If you have leftovers, this reheats very well in the microwave for a slightly boozy breakfast the next day.

PANETTONE BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 160C/140C Fan/Gas 3.
• Liberally spread the sliced panettone with the butter and then the fruit compôte.
• Lay the panettone in a 20x30cm/8x12in baking tin or ovenproof dish in any order that makes you happy - in a symmetrical pattern or higgledy-piggledy, it's entirely up to you!
• Whisk together the whole eggs, egg yolks, milk, cream and caster sugar in a large mixing bowl.
• Pour some of the egg mixture over the slices of panettone and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Repeat the process a couple more times, until all the mixture is used up.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until brown on top, but still a little wobbly. Serve the pudding in serving bowls, dusted with icing sugar and with a little pouring cream, if liked.

PANETTONE BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING WITH VANILLA AND CHOCOLATE

Steps:

• Put the oven on to 180C / 170C fan / Gas 4Cut the panettone into 2.5 cm / 1" cubes.
• Melt the butter and then use a pastry brush to butter a deep baking dish. Choose a dish that is about 6" x 8".Next, arrange the cubes of panettone in the dish.
• Put the cream, milk, vanilla extract, eggs and sugar into a bowl. Whisk lightly with a fork to break up the eggs and combine the ingredients. You don't need to work too hard at this!
• Pour the custard mixture over the panettone. Take care to drizzle it evenly over the panettone.
• Use the back of a spoon to lightly press the cubes into the liquid so they absorb it. Do this as gently as possible, because you want them to spring back up. Don't squash them!
• Scatter the chocolate chips over the panettone. Now drizzle the remaining melted butter over any of the bread that is not submerged in the custard mix.
• Pop into the oven and bake for 35 minutes. When the pudding is ready, it will be fluffy and golden, with the custard set.
• Allow your bread and butter pudding to cool a little before you serve. Dust it lightly with icing sugar for a final flourish.

PANETTONE PUDDING

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 160C/ 140C fan/ gas 3 and grease a 850ml/1½ pint shallow baking dish with a little of the 50g butter.
• Cut 250g panettone into wedges, leaving the crusts on.
• Butter the slices lightly with the rest of the butter. Cut the slices in half and arrange them in the dish, buttered side up.
• In a bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 142ml double cream, 225ml milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract and 2 tbsp caster sugar and pour evenly over the panettone.
• Put the dish in a roasting tin and pour hot water around it to a depth of about 2.5cm/1in. Bake for 35 minutes until the pudding is just set - it should be yellow inside and nicely browned on top.
• Dust with icing sugar and serve with spoonfuls of whipped cream.

PANETTONE BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, macerate prunes in grappa 30 minutes. Simmer mixture until most liquid is evaporated and spread prunes in a 2-quart gratin dish (about 14 inches long) or other shallow baking dish.
• Preheat broiler.
• Lightly butter one side of panettone slices and trim crusts if desired. Cut into 3- to 4-inch squares and halve squares diagonally to form triangles. Arrange triangles, buttered sides up,in one layer on a large baking sheet and broil about 4 inches from heat until golden, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Cool triangles and arrange, toasted sides up and overlapping slightly, over prunes in baking dish. Pudding may be prepared up to this point 6 hours ahead and kept covered.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• In a heavy saucepan, bring milk to a bare simmer over moderate heat with vanilla bean and granulated sugar and remove pan from heat. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean with a knife into milk, reserving pod for another use, and whisk to break up seeds. In a large heatproof bowl, whisk together whole eggs and yolks and add hot milk in a slow stream, whisking.
• Ladle custard evenly over toasts and set dish in a larger baking pan. Add enough hot water to pan to reach halfway up side of dish and bake pudding in middle of oven 25 to 30 minutes, or until puffed and set.
• Remove dish from water batch and cool pudding to warm or room temperature. Just before serving, dust pudding with confectioners' sugar.

PANETTONE BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees and butter a deep baking dish that will fit all the bread slices in a single layer, overlapping slightly, about 9 by 5 inches. Place the sliced panettone on a sheet pan and lightly toast it in the oven so that it's still flexible, but dry to the touch, about 10 minutes. Arrange toast in the baking dish.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar and salt, then add the milk and whisk until smooth. Pour through a fine-mesh strainer over the panettone, allowing the excess mixture to fill up the pan. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the bread has soaked up all the custard and puffed up, and the custard is no longer runny. Allow to cool at least 30 minutes before serving, then use a fine-mesh sieve to dust all over with confectioners' sugar and serve.
