Christmas Recipe: Bread And Butter Pudding

Serves: 6

Time: 11/2 hours

You will need:

1 Cooking apple peeled, cored and thinly sliced

Juice of half a lemon

50g (2oz) butter

6 slices of white bread or a currant loaf, crusts removed

50g (2oz) sultanas

40g (11/2oz) demerara sugar

3 eggs

600ml (1 pint) milk

What to do:

1. Preheat oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas 5.

2. Dip apple slices in lemon juice to prevent them discolouring.

4. Spread apple slices across the bread, alternating with remaining bread - butter side up - cut into triangles. Sprinkle with sugar.

5. Beat together eggs and milk, pour over pudding and stand for 30 minutes.

6. Stand dish in a roasting tin filled 2.5cm (1in) deep with warm water. Bake for one hour or until crisp and golden.
