DATE PANETTONE BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING

Steps:

• First take out a baking dish (4-cup baking dish) and heavily butter it.
• Then, arrange half of your panettone triangles in the dish overlapping them a bit.
• Scatter 1/2 of your nuts over the panettone and then evenly scatter your chopped dates.
• Then, place another layer of the panettone on top, overlapping them a bit.
• Heat your butter, milk, cream, and vanilla in a small saucepan just until simmering, remove from heat.
• Put the egg, maple syrup and honey in a large bowl and add freshly grated nutmeg.
• Next, whisk in the hot milk, making sure to whisk vigorously so as to keep the egg from cooking.
• At this point you will want to preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
• Pour your milk-egg mixture over the panettone layers, and lightly press down on the bread so that it is fully submerged in the liquid.
• Leave the panettone pudding aside for about 15-20 minutes to allow everything to soak up nicely.
• Take the rest of your pecans and sprinkle just a bit of water over them (JUST A BIT).
• Toss them in the sugar/cinnamon mixture, and toss them over the pudding.
• Sprinkle the leftover cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the dish (there wont be much).
• Grate a small amount of nutmeg over as well.
• Bake in your preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until it has risen and has a beautiful golden color.

VEGAN DATE & CHOCOLATE BREAD & BUTTER PUDDING

Steps:

• Mix the cornflour, soya milk, cinnamon, lemon zest, vanilla and maple syrup together in a pan and whisk until smooth. Set over a low heat and cook, whisking continuously, for 8-10 mins until the mixture has thickened slightly to a thin custard that just coats the back of a spoon.
• Lightly oil roughly 20 x 25cm wide baking dish. Cut the crusts off the bread, if you like, and arrange in the dish, overlapping slightly. Stir most of the dates into the custard, then pour over the bread, pressing the bread into the mixture gently with the back of a spoon to help it absorb the liquid. Leave to soak for 15 mins.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Scatter the chocolate chips and remaining sliced dates over the bread pudding, and bake for 20-25 mins until golden and crisp at the edges. Leave to rest for 10 mins before serving with a spoonful of vegan plain yogurt or dairy-free ice cream, if you like.

BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C/gas 4. To make the custard, heat the milk, cream and vanilla pod with its scraped out seeds (if using) together in a saucepan to just below boiling point. Meanwhile whisk the eggs and yolk with the caster sugar in a jug. Slowly pour the warm milk mixture, including the vanilla pod, over the eggs, stirring constantly until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract now if using.
• Lightly butter an ovenproof dish approximately 20cm x 25cm x 5cm. Cut the crusts from the bread slices, then butter both sides of the bread and cut into triangles. Lay half of the bread slices in the bottom of the dish so that they are slightly overlapping. Mix the dried fruit with the lemon zest and sprinkle half of the mix over the bread. Layer the rest of the bread on top then sprinkle over the remaining fruit.
• Remove the vanilla pod from the custard then pour the custard over the pudding. Leave to soak for at least 30 mins, or longer in the fridge, if you like. Sprinkle over the demerara and bake for 35-40 mins until golden brown and puffed up.
