Brioche Bread & Butter Honey Pudding
Move over classic bread and butter pudding and let us introduce you to our Brioche & Butter Honey Pudding. We've opted for decadent brioche creating a light, fluffy and deliciously buttery pudding. In the custard filling we've used the ever popular Bee Fruity Orange Blossom Honey and a generous sprinkle of sultanas on top because some traditions are best left untouched.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf brioche bread
- 100 g unsalted butter (melted)
- 100 g sultanas
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
Custard
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup Bee Fruity Orange Blossom Honey
- 150 ml double cream
- 600 ml full cream milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 orange (finely grated zest)
Instructions
- Cut the brioche loaf into 1.5cm slices and brush each slice with melted butter.
- Grease a 28cm round ovenproof baking dish with butter and arrange the slices in a spiral. Scatter over the sultanas, pressing some into the gaps between the slices of brioche.
- To make the custard, place all the ingredients in a large bowl and whisk together by hand until well mixed. Pour the custard over the brioche in the dish and firmly press the exposed bread crusts down into the liquid so all the bread is submerged in the custard mixture.
- Sprinkle with the brown sugar and leave to stand for about 30 minutes so the brioche has time to absorb the custard. While the pudding is standing, preheat the oven to 160°C.
- Half-fill the roasting tin with boiling water, and place the ovenproof dish in this. This method of cooking helps to keep a slow and even temperature around the pudding ensuring the custard is evenly cooked. Gently press the bread mixture down once more before placing it into the oven.
- Bake for about 40 minutes until golden on top and puffed up and the pudding is firm and spongy to touch. The layers will shrink down a little on cooling.
- Drizzle with extra honey and serve warm with cream or ice cream.
