[musicman4]

no its not bread pudding - thanks for your answer

[redcrx]

bread pudding is bread, currants, spices and cooked in a tin. Only difference was the tea, but there will probably be some reagonal variations.

I agree with red, it does sound like bread pudding. My mum makes it quite often.

With tea, It sounds like Bara Brith, but with stale bread it doesn't ... it's not in my Welsh recipe book.

I'll need to ask the local 'wise'woman' ... she's 874 next year (I think).

Found this version of bread pudding (NOT to be confused with the custardy bread-and-butter pudding) on Yahoo -


Ingredients

1 small loaf, (400g)
1/2 pint of cold tea
4 oz sultanas
4 oz raisins
4 oz currants
2 oz mixed peel (optional)
2oz shredded suet (vegetarian if you prefer)
1 teaspoonful of mixed spice
1/2 teaspoonful of grated nutmeg
2 eggs beaten
2 oz demerara sugar (you can use granulated or caster if you don't have any)
A little milk to mix if needed

Method

Preheat the oven at Gas mk 4, 180c or 350f
Grease and line a dish, preferably square, which will take about 1 1/2 pints, you can always use a small roasting tin, a cake tin, or a pie dish, whatever's handy.

Remove the crust from the bread, chop up roughly into squares, no need to be exact, and put into a mixing bowl together with the cold tea, and leave to soak for about 1/2 an hour. When the bread has soaked up all of the tea, beat out any lumps, and then add the fruit, peel, suet, sugar and spices. Mix together well, and add the eggs. If the mixture is a little dry, add some milk to make a dropping consistency.
Pour into the baking dish, making sure, if you have a square tin to push the mixture into the corners. Put into the oven and bake for around 1 1/2 - 2 hours.
When cooked (check by inserting a knife into the centre. If it comes out clean, it's done) dredge with white sugar. Cut into squares and serve either warm or cold, whichever you prefer.
