Recipe Information

Step by step guide to making Spiced pear bread and butter pudding

  1. Butter the bread on one side, then spread over the mincemeat. Cut each piece into 4 triangles.
  2. Arrange the bread in a 2-litre ovenproof dish, tucking in the pear slices as you go to create layers, until all the bread and pears are used up.
  3. Beat together the caster sugar, milk, double cream and the eggs. Strain this custard mixture through a fine sieve to remove any lumps, then pour over the bread and pears.
  4. Sprinkle over the demerara sugar and allow to stand for 20 minutes, to allow the bread to soak up some of the custard. Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas mark 4.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the custard is just set.
  6. Allow to stand for a further 15 minutes, then serve with a drizzle of fresh cream or warm custard.
