Classic Bread and Butter Pudding- A Valentines Special...

Happy Valentines Day
This bread and butter pudding is one of the easiest pudding to prepare.


In this dish, a layer of buttered bread slices, sprinkled with raisins is arranged over which egg and milk mixture is poured, seasoned with cinnamon powder and finally baked to a desired consistency. Some like to eat this just like that and some might like it along with custard or cream.



Instead of raisins we can also add chocolate chips or any dry fruits of choice. This pudding is a no fail dish, which I can prepare any time of the day within minutes and am also sure that, this will be loved by all. I love the light golden colour crust formed on top.



Tip: Dry bread would make this pudding more tastier :-)


Ingredients:
  1. Bread- 10- 12 Slices
  2. Butter- ¼ Cup
  3. Sugar- ¾ Cup
  4. Milk- 2 Cup
  5. Cinnamon Powder- 1tsp
  6. Eggs- 2 nos
  7. Vanilla Essence- 1 tsp
  8. Raisins- ½ Cup
Method:

  1. Gently warm the milk over low heat and mix the sugar till it gets dissolved.
  2. Beat the eggs and vanilla essence in a bowl and mix this in the warm milk mixture and beat well using a hand blender, till it turns pale in colour.
  3. Cut the sides of the bread and spread butter on each slice. Arrange these bread slices in a baking tray and add a layer of raisins, sprinkle some cinnamon powder over them.
  4. Pour the egg mixture over the prepared bread layer and let it stand for about 30 minutes.
  5. Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees C. Bake the dish for about 30- 40 minutes, till the top becomes golden brown in colour.
  6. When done, sprinkle some sugar on top, cool and serve

Crispy braised Iberico pork collar Recipe

Image
It is not cheap, but if you come across it don't hesitate and buy an   Iberico  pork  collar  (aka boneless neck, Cabecero). Mine was 1800 g. It is a well marbled, exquisitely flavorful cut that can be roasted, braised, or sliced into steaks for quick searing. ... While  iberico  is best known for the famous slow-aged hams, the other cuts are succulent, moist & delicious. I made pulled pork from one half. Today I made this from the other half. First I peeled, halved and then sliced 800 g of onions and sweated them in 40 g of butter, turned the heat up a bit and softly fried them for about 40 mins, nicely caramelised and brown. Took out the onions and added some more butter in the pan to sear the meat. Then turned the heat down again and added  sea salt, black pepper, 3 tbsp  Worcestershire  and 6 finely hacked cloves of garlic , 1.2 liter of beef stock , the reserved onions and 2 leaves of laurel . Put the lid on and let it simmer for 3 hours. Then I took out the oni
