Cooking Tips

Thick and lemony-coloured:
Beat yolks at a high speed with an electric mixer until they become a pastel yellow and form ribbons when the beater is lifted (or they are dropped from a spoon) for about 3 to 5 minutes. Although yolks cannot incorporate as much air as whites, this beating creates foam and is important for airy creations such as sponge cakes. View all the cooking tips >

Spicy Apple & Fig Ciabatta Pudding

Serves 6-8

Recipe by Pip Duncan

Delicious winter pudding, a delightful twist on the traditional bread and butter pudding

Ingredients:
1 ciabatta
2 tablespoon butter or margarine
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
400g can apple pieces
1/2 cup sliced dried figs
4 eggs
11/2 cup low fat
1 tablespoon chopped crystallised ginger

Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C.
  2. Slice the bread, spread with butter or margarine.
  3. Divide the apple slices among 6 or 8 baking dishes, sprinkle with the cinnamon.
  4. Place 3 slices of bread on top of the apple, add the ginger and figs.
  5. In a medium-sized bowl beat together the eggs and milk, pour over the bread and apple.
  6. Place in the preheated oven and cook until a knife inserted near the centre comes out clean, about 25 minutes.
  7. If you prefer, cook the whole pudding in one dish.
