Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees F(190 degrees C)
• In a large bowl, combine bread cubes, melted margarine, raisins, and cinnamon; mix well, and transfer to a 2 quart baking dish.
• Use the same bowl to beat the eggs. Stir in sugar, vanilla, and salt until sugar is dissolved. Slowly whisk in the hot milk. Pour egg mixture over bread cubes, sprinkle with nutmeg, and set aside to soak for 5 minutes.
• Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Tear 500g white or wholemeal bread into a large mixing bowl and add 500g mixed dried fruit, 85g mixed peel and 1 ½ tbsp mixed spice.
• Pour in 600ml milk, then stir or scrunch through your fingers to mix everything well and completely break up the bread.
• Add 2 beaten large eggs, 140g light muscovado sugar and zest of 1 lemon, if using. Stir well, then set aside for 15 mins to soak.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter and line the base of a 20cm non-stick square cake tin (not one with a loose base).
• Stir the melted butter into the pudding mixture, tip into the tin, then scatter with demerara.
• Bake for 1½ hrs until firm and golden, covering with foil if it starts to brown too much. Turn out of the tin and strip off the paper. Cut into squares and serve warm.

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, milk and water in a bowl and mix well. Add the eggs, salt, vanilla, coconut and 1/4 cup melted margarine and mix well. Stir in the bread cubes. Let stand until the liquid is absorbed. Spoon into a 9 x 12 inch baking dish.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the pudding rises like a souffle and springs back when touched.
• For the sauce: Combine the eggs and flavoring (whiskey or lemon juice or amaretto, not all!) in a food processor. Process until well blended. Add the confectioners' sugar and 1/2 cup melted margarine and process until smooth.

• Remove bread pudding from the oven. Poke holes throughout using a butter knife. Pour butter sauce over the top.
