Preparation

  1. Cinnamon custard:

    • Whisk together the custard powder, cinnamon and 100ml of the milk into a smooth paste.
    • In a pan place in the 900ml of milk and bring to the boil.
    • Whisk in the custard paste and bring back to a simmer stirring continuously.
    • When it coats the back of the spoon add in the sugar and mix through.
    • Store hot until required.

  2. For apricot bread and butter pudding:

    • Spread each slice of bread with a light layer of butter and then with the apricot jam.
    • Cut the bread into diagonal halves.
    • Whisk together the eggs, milk and vanilla essence.
    • Place the bread in an oven proof dish and create an even layer then add on a third of the dried fruits and repeat until all of the fruit and bread have been used.
    • Evenly pour the milk and egg mixture over the bread.
    • Leave the pudding for a few minutes to allow the bread time to absorb some of the liquid.
    • Then sprinkle over the caster sugar and mixed spice.
    • Bake at 180°C for 25-30 min. or until the custard is set.
    • Serve warm with the cinnamon custard.
