By 2021-06-25

Ultimate makeover recipe for 4 people, takes only 30 mins; recipe has dried apricot, raisin, brandy, egg, golden caster sugar, custard, semi-skimmed milk, vanilla pod, lemon, creme fraiche, butter, white bread, apricot conserve and icing sugar.

Ingredients

  • Egg - 1 egg
  • Lemon - zest 1 small lemon, pared off in strips with a veg peeler
  • White Bread - 4 medium slices good white bread, crusts left on, such as sliced from a small white farmhouse loaf
  • Butter - 25g butter, softened
  • Creme Fraiche - 4 tbsp half-fat creme fraiche
  • Golden Caster Sugar - 1 tsp golden caster sugar
  • Raisin - 25g raisins
  • Semi Skimmed Milk - 350ml semi-skimmed milk
  • Dried Apricot - 50g dried apricots, chopped
  • Brandy - 2 tbsp brandy
  • Icing Sugar - 1/4 tsp icing sugar, for sifting
  • Custard - 2 tsp custard powder
  • Vanilla Pod - 1/2 vanilla pod, split
  • Apricot Conserve - 1 tbsp apricot conserve or jam

Instructions

  1. Put the apricots and raisins in a small dish, pour over the brandy and leave to soak, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, beat the egg and sugar together in a medium bowl, then whisk in the custard powder with a balloon whisk until smooth. Warm the milk in a small non-stick saucepan; then, when it's just coming up to a boil, remove from the heat and slowly stir into the egg mixture. Scrape in the vanilla seeds, drop in the pared lemon zest and vanilla pod and set aside to cool and infuse for 30 mins.
  2. Whisk the creme fraiche into the cooled milk. Strain this custard through a sieve into a jug. Using 1/4 tsp butter from the 25g, very lightly butter a shallow ovenproof dish, about 20 x 25 x 4.5cm.
  3. Butter the bread on one side only with the rest of the butter, then spread over the conserve or jam. Cut each slice into 4 triangles, then lay half the triangles, jam side up, in the dish. Scatter over half the apricots and raisins, then lay the rest of the bread over the top, again jam side up. Scatter over the rest of the dried fruit and any unsoaked brandy, then pour half the custard over the bread. Leave to soak for 15 mins. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
  4. Sit the dish in a roasting tin. Pour the rest of the custard over the bread, press the bread lightly into the custard then half fill the roasting tin with hot water. Bake for 20 mins, then raise the heat to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and bake for a further 5-10 mins until the bread on top is crisp and golden. Remove and let the pudding sit for 2-3 mins. Sift over the icing sugar and serve warm.
