Bread and butter pudding, again!
A friend posted two recipes on making bread and butter pudding. Here they are :
I used to make this 2 different ways:
1: buttered leftover bread cut into triangles and put overlapping into a dish with sides.
Sprinkle with raisins and sugar/sweetener.
Beat an egg into about 3/4 of a pint of milk and a pinch of salt, and pour over the bread.
Make sure it’s properly soaked.
Dot with butter and bake in a moderate oven until golden and crispy on top- probably about 30mins.
2: The posh version:
Use a brioche loaf.
Slice but don’t butter
Place overlapping slices in a dish with sides.
Sprinkle with chocolate chips or raisins and a little sugar or sweetener
Beat an egg into a mixture of single cream and milk with a pinch of salt.
Leave to soak. Dot with butter.
Bake in a moderate oven until golden and crispy on top- probably about 30mins
Cooked!
A tasty morsel
A solid lump?
No soft and sweet
Moist and crunchy
It was a treat
It turned out good
Now I’m stuffed
With bread, butter and banana pud!
Bread and butter pudding?
How do you make it? Raisins and currents between slices of bread with a mixture of egg and milk and nutmeg and sugar somehow added to it? The outcome is a sticky, stiff, yummy lump of slightly crispy pudding.
Problem 1, I have no currents or raisins or even sultanas..
2, I have no sliced bread
3, I don’t eat sugar because of diabetes.
4. I have no recipe to work from and don’t know what temperature to cook it on.
Solution…just make it up as I go. So I sliced some slightly stale brown bread. Buttered it and placed it butter side down into a pyrex glass shallow oblong tray. Added a layer of sliced banana and some sliced pear. Then a few more bits of bread and dots of butter. Finally more banana and pear and a bit of a crust of bread on top. I then whisked up six eggs?! With milk, sugar substitute and a bit of cinnamon (I don’t have nutmeg).
Poured the liquid over the bread slowly so it soaked in.
What heat? I chose gas mark 5 (medium heat) and set the oven for forty minutes. It might be horrible. It might be OK. For future reference does anyone know a recipe?
Broccoli
What is broccoli, a green equivalent to cauliflower?
According to Wikipedia Broccoli is an edible green plant in the cabbage family whose large flowering head, stalk and small associated leaves are eaten as a vegetable. Broccoli is classified in the Italica cultivar group of the species Brassica oleracea. WikipediaOrigin: Italy, more than 2,000 years ago. Scientific name: Brassica oleracea var. italicaHigher classification: Wild cabbage Rank: VarietyCultivar group: Italica.
I like it, I like the Romaesco version I think it’s called. The version with sculptural spiral swirls that are like a version of fibonnacci number patterns. The spirals have a fractal look about them. If you’ve never seen it look it up online. It’s a fascinating shape.
Feed the birds
As the autumn approaches the northern hemisphere the weather gets colder. Local bird populations are looking for food. Some of them need to stock up so they can migrate others so they can overwinter in the UK.
You can get bird foods from local shops and pet stores. Grain, peanuts, sunflower seeds, fat balls, together with a fresh supply of water is what they need. If you feed them bread make sure it has been soaked in water, otherwise it can swell up in their crops and cause harm to them.
See your local nature charities for more information about feeding specific birds.
Non diabetic food?
What part of this food is safe to eat if you are diabetic?
A large size pizza ( carbs)
Two packets of mini butter stollen cakes (dusted with icing sugar)
Four large potato’s (carbs)
Three tubs of butter
Cheese
A box of mini blueberry muffins,
Two large tubs of fruit flavoured kefir fermented yoghurt,
Two bottles of mayonnaise (garlic and chilli flavours)
Two cheesecakes (one strawberry, the other lemon and marscepone)
A packet of rich tea biscuits.
A box of eggs
Shampoo with honey added!
Why?
The only vegetables were a jar of gherkins….
I don’t normally ask him to go shopping!
Hubby shopping
Who would choose gherkins and limes for a nice choice of food for shopping?
I asked my hubby to do some shopping today. Get some bread and milk and something nice I said. Do you need a list? No I’ll be OK.
Off he went to the supermarket. Its not far away and he wasn’t going to buy much. When he came back he’d bought:
Mini butter stollen
Limes
Gherkins
A tin of tomatoes
Rich tea biscuits
Four litres of semi skimmed milk
A wholewheat loaf.
So I made him two slices of toast with a mini butter stollen on each slice (well they say butter on the packaging, and we have run out of butter).
I asked him if he wants gherkin and lime for tea? He laughed. Then ate the mini butter stollen!
Banana and pear in bread?
Hubby’s made a loaf today. Linseed and oat. It was a ready mixed flour with added yeast.
He likes experimenting with bread so he diced up a small pear and banana and added them to the mix with water to moisten the dough.
Let it rise, knock it back and let it rise again, then into a baking tray and on gas mark eight (high heat) for thirty minutes. It was a tasty result. I had a slice with butter and a banana. Delicious.
