Marmalade Bread and Butter Pudding

 

Ingredients

· 10 slices bread, rusts removed

· Butter for spreading

· 1/3 cup bitter orange marmalade

· 3 cups milk

· 3 eggs

· 1/2 cup sugar

· 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

· Sugar, extra, for sprinkling

 

Steps

1) Preheat the oven to 325°F. Spread one side of five of the bread slices with butter and the remaining five slices with marmalade. Sandwich together a buttered slice and one spread with marmalade, then cut each sandwich into three long strips. Place in a greased 4 cup (2 pint) capacity ovenproof dish, making a rough lattice pattern. Place the milk, eggs, sugar and vanilla in a bowl and whisk to combine. Pour over the bread and allow to stand for three minutes. Sprinkle over some extra sugar and place the dish in a baking tray. Pour in enough hot water to come  halfway up the side of the dish and bake for 1 hour 5 minutes or until the pudding is set. Allow to stand for 5 minutes and serve warm. Serves six.
