Cooking Tips

Add sugar, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time:
When making meringues and some cakes, sugar is best slowly added to beaten egg whites. This serves to increase the stability of the foam. Sugar, however, can retard the foaming of the whites and must be added slowly so as not to decrease the volume. Beat the whites until foamy, and then slowly beat in the sugar.

Spicy fruit bread and chocolate chunk bread and butter pudding

Serves 4-6

Recipe by Sophie Gray

Bread and butter puddings are easy, inexpensive and loved by all ages. This one is a little bit indulgent with chunks of chocolate scattered through it.

Ingredients:
8 slices fruit bread buttered and cut in half diagonally
3 eggs
2 egg yolks
½ cup brown sugar
1 ¾ cups milk
¼ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp mixed spice
½ cup chocolate buttons or morsels

Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°
  2. Arrange the bread in layers in an oven proof dish, or divide between smaller dishes if you haven’t a big pudding dish.
  3. Lightly beat the eggs and yolks, mix in the sugar, spices and milk and pour over the bread. Push the bread down to soak it in the egg mixture.
  4. Scatter on the chocolate pieces. Bake at 180° for 35 minutes or until crispy and puffed on top, and springy when pressed - this shows it’s set in the middle and ready to serve.
