NEWFOUNDLAND BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• - Mix all ingredients together with enough warm water to form a ball that holds everything together. Put in a pudding bag or pudding tin with lid and boil for 30 minutes with the jigg's dinner or on its own. If you are going to boil/steam your pudding on its own fill the boiler up 1/4 of the way with water, then put a foil bowl or rack in the bottom of boiler to place your pudding bag or pudding tin on. If you are using the liquor/ broth from the jiggs dinner for gravy it must be taken out before the bread pudding goes in, as it will give a sweet taste to the gravy. Put it in the boiler the same time as your potatoes as they cook about the same. If you use the pudding bag remove from the boiler and from the bag so it don't become to soggy. Cut in slices and serve with meal. This Newfoundland Bread Pudding is like stuffing but the shape of a pudding, smells and tastes amazing and can be served with Jiggs Dinner, with or without gravy.

SIMPLE BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a small saucepan over low heat, warm milk, butter, vanilla, sugar and salt. Continue cooking just until butter melts; cool. Meanwhile, butter a 4-to-6-cup baking dish and fill it with cubed bread.
• Add eggs to cooled milk mixture and whisk; pour mixture over bread. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until custard is set but still a little wobbly and edges of bread have browned. Serve warm or at room temperature.

AS-YOU-LIKE-IT STEAMED PUDDING

Steps:

• Generously grease a 1.2-litre pudding basin and put your chosen topping in the base. Boil a kettle of water. To prepare your steamer, put a snugly fitting upturned bowl in the base of a large, deep saucepan, big enough to hold the pudding.
• Put the ingredients for the sponge in a food processor and blend until smooth (but don't overwork the mix), then tip into the pudding basin. Cover with a lid made of baking parchment and foil, and tie with string to secure (see step-by-step). Stand the pudding on the upturned bowl in your saucepan. Pour in enough hot water to come halfway up the side of the pudding basin. Set over a medium heat and bring to the boil. Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid, lower the heat to a gentle simmer and leave to steam for 2½ hrs, topping up with boiling water if the level gets too low.
• Check the pudding is cooked by inserting a skewer through the foil and parchment lid into the centre of the pudding. If the skewer still has some wet mixture on it, return the pudding to the steamer for a further 15-20 mins, then check again. Once cooked, uncover and turn the pudding onto a plate. Serve straight away with custard, if you like.

STEAMED CARAMEL BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Melt butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add 1 cup sugar and stir occasionally until dissolved. Stop stirring once the mixture comes to a boil. Stay near the stove to monitor the color, swirling the pan gently to redistribute caramel as sugar begins to darken. Cook to about 310 degrees F (160 degrees C) or until the sugar turns light golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat immediately, as sugar will continue to darken.
• Combine bread cubes, milk, condensed milk, eggs, vanilla, 1 teaspoon sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, and coriander in a blender; puree everything together. Pour batter on top of caramel.
• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil.
• Cover bread pudding and place in the steamer; cook until a knife comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature, 45 minutes to an hour. Cool in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Remove from the refrigerator and turn out onto a plate to serve.
