I am another marmalade lover but will take your advice if I decide to make this.&nbsp;I'm going to have to ask my mom if she still has her chocolate bread pudding recipe. I just did a google search and found a bunch of recipes by cooking queens like Martha Stewart and Paula Dean but they seemed much more complex than what I remember as a very simple but delicious dish. </p> <p>LisaP you are so right about how eating patterns have changed.&nbsp;I used to make english plum pudding for christmas, and one of the main ingredients in it is SUET Yup, the stuff you feed to birds. And on top of it we'd put hard sauce which is butter with a lot of sugar smashed into it.&nbsp; I bet a small serving of this is actually more healthy once in a while than a steady diet of&nbsp;prepared, packaged, preserved "lowfat" stuff....</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/south-african-bread-038-butter-pudding/page/2#post-1752710 Mon, 21 Nov 2016 20:55:53 +0000 Sal 1752710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa - it is interesting how food habits change. &nbsp;My parents grew up eating meat and three vege every day (vege always boiled of course), desserts every night and the pantry was filled with loads of home baking. &nbsp;All their family members were relatively slim and in good shape (no six pack muscles of course but fit from walking, and working, and going to local dance nights).</p> <p>They did not drink much alcohol, did a lot more walking/hard chores, and had no fast foods...In comparison I eat much more quinoa (which I dislike), avoid white sugar where I can, go to the gym and wear active wear... (but drink wine and sit at my computer!)</p> <p>It is fascinating I find!!</p> <p>Nice to "see" you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/south-african-bread-038-butter-pudding/page/2#post-1752705 Mon, 21 Nov 2016 20:48:40 +0000 Helen11 1752705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun to see this post!<br />I love Anne's comment about pudding referring to desserts of all types. That's the tradition in our house, too, and it has become a good-natured joke amongst the extended family.</p> <p>I haven't really liked bread and butter pudding in the past, but this recipe sounds delicious. &nbsp;If I give it a try, what's half-and-half?? Low fat milk?</p> <p>Lisap - surely everything is better with maple syrup! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/south-african-bread-038-butter-pudding/page/2#post-1752702 Mon, 21 Nov 2016 20:45:45 +0000 rachylou 1752702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice!

( I am a little pedantic when it comes to following recipes) &nbsp;That said, I would love to give this one a try for Christmas morning . &nbsp;I enjoy &nbsp;trying new recipes that my friends love and recommend, and this sounds like a sentimental favourite. &nbsp;Retro indeed &nbsp;</p> <p>The way people ate even 10-15 years ago is mind-blowing, and you wonder how anyone &nbsp;maintained any degree of health. &nbsp;Our equally horrifying version of this was with raisin bread. &nbsp;For extra fun, we drenched it in maple syrup. &nbsp;Probably a day's calories in one serving . &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/south-african-bread-038-butter-pudding/page/2#post-1752698 Mon, 21 Nov 2016 20:14:52 +0000 Sal 1752698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have made a very similar pudding - I also like to "wing" it when cooking so this suits me too - and have even made a savoury version with cheese and tomato relish/chutney, bacon etc..</p> <p>It is delicious in winter and the leftovers are great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/south-african-bread-038-butter-pudding/page/2#post-1752693 Mon, 21 Nov 2016 19:52:10 +0000 El Cee 1752693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds absolutely yummy.

I will add a little less cream next time, and that will probably fix the issue. Thanks Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/south-african-bread-038-butter-pudding/page/2#post-43348 Mon, 12 Jan 2009 06:06:13 +0000 Angie 43348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mine is more solid than that Ana, but not a solid lump like American bread pudding. Glad hubby enjoyed it too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/south-african-bread-038-butter-pudding/page/2#post-43341 Mon, 12 Jan 2009 05:58:22 +0000 Ana 43341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Angie, he did like it. He even commented that the apricot jam added a nice tartness that it needed. He said, "Maybe we could try it with marmalade," but then I said you had tried that and it didn't work out, hee hee. I think he was expecting the pudding to be more solid though, not as creamy/soupy. That's why I asked if it was meant to be that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/south-african-bread-038-butter-pudding/page/2#post-43336 Mon, 12 Jan 2009 05:48:33 +0000 Angie 43336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks fab Ana!!! I’m glad it worked out. Did Brendan like the pud too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/south-african-bread-038-butter-pudding/page/2#post-43299 Mon, 12 Jan 2009 04:20:44 +0000 Ana 43299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I finally got a chance to make the pudding this evening for some friends we had over to dinner. It was SO good! It's definitely one of my favorite desserts now (it even rivals cheesecake, which I will eat anytime, anyplace). Anyway, I'm not sure how it was meant to turn out. Is it meant to be solid, or kind of disintegrate into a creamy mass? Because that's what it did for me:</p> <p><a href="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h275/Saintana13/S6301464.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i66.photobucket.com/alb.....301464.jpg</a></p> <p>The bread pieces kind of kept their shape, but when you would spoon it out, it fell apart and did have the texture of a very creamy, rich, thick American pudding. Should I have not added so much half and half mixture? I know traditional bread pudding is usually sliceable into chunks, and this definitely was not. </p> <p>Nevertheless, it was big hit, and obviously I absolutely loved it. Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/south-african-bread-038-butter-pudding/page/2#post-41835 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 12:38:21 +0000 Nicole 41835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I forgot to report on my attempt. I made it to bring to a party back in December, before Christmas. It was very good and received lots of compliments. Personally, I'm not a huge bread pudding fan--it's a textural thing for me. But it sure smelled wonderful while it was baking. The one thing I think I made a mistake about was the amount of bread was much greater than the amount of egg mixture. When I poured the mixture over the bread, it didn't cover it enough. So I threw together more egg mixture, but not the exact recipe. I also had so much that I made 2 casseroles. </p> <p>Even though I didn't enjoy an entire serving, I did take a taste of my husband's to make sure it was servable. Everyone at the party who tried it enjoyed it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/south-african-bread-038-butter-pudding/page/2#post-41825 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 07:13:26 +0000 Angie 41825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my goodness! I'm so impressed Laura and Eva. Thanks for attempting the pud and for sharing the results with me. It’s fab that you enjoyed a little bit of South Africa in your homes. I can’t wait to tell my darling MIL that her recipe is travelling around the world. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/south-african-bread-038-butter-pudding#post-41821 Mon, 05 Jan 2009 05:23:07 +0000 Eva 41821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yum! We stuck to the recipe using Hawaiian sweet bread and lots of butter and apricot preserve. We halved the recipe. It puffed up nicely. We made a vanilla cream sauce to pour over it. Hubby said I should have added more currents - my hands are smaller than his. Microwaved leftovers were just as good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/south-african-bread-038-butter-pudding#post-41357 Fri, 02 Jan 2009 01:37:57 +0000 Laura 41357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Update: Pud turned out just fine. Better than just fine, actually. It was delicious! Everyone raved about it and it pleased all ages and both genders :)</p> <p>Thanks Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/south-african-bread-038-butter-pudding#post-41350 Fri, 02 Jan 2009 01:26:58 +0000 Angie 41350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, there are loads of South African people living in Australia. The climate and cultures are similar which is why it makes perfect sense to me. I hope you liked the melktert. When properly made, South African melktert is stunning. </p> <p>To answer your quezzies: </p> <p>o Sure you can use margarine – but it won’t be as rich and creamy, but it does work and I have substituted margarine in the past.<br /> o I don’t layer the sandwiches. I cut up the sandwiches into blocks and pile them up in a messy fashion into the dish. It makes for an attractive rustic finished product.<br /> o South African people LOVE evaporated and condensed milk. Quite right, Anne. </p> <p>Laura, you crack me up. I'm sure your pud will turn out just fine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/south-african-bread-038-butter-pudding#post-41263 Thu, 01 Jan 2009 16:57:18 +0000 Laura 41263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I screwed up majorly by not putting the jam on the bread before cutting it ... DUH ... but may have saved the day by microwaving the jam until it was liquidy and pouring it over the buttered bread pieces. Whew! It's now soaking in the fridge ... updates later </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/south-african-bread-038-butter-pudding#post-41250 Thu, 01 Jan 2009 14:10:23 +0000 Laura 41250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too am making this dessert today for my husband's family -- I'm using challah bread. Will report back! Fingers crossed it works out ... how could it not be good with all that butter and jam?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/south-african-bread-038-butter-pudding#post-41249 Thu, 01 Jan 2009 13:33:46 +0000 anne 41249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a few more questions Angie.<br /> Do you lay the sandwiches in a single or double layer?<br /> Would margarine be ok, or must it be butter?<br /> BTW I think I did use full cream milk with the evap milk, which is thicker than full cream milk. (when you were in South Africa did you come accross people having tins of evaporated milk to have with dessert? I have seen it here with my South African friends.<br /> As we don't have half and half I'd have to add cream to milk (which is what my australian cookbook says) I'll try that next time </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/south-african-bread-038-butter-pudding#post-41198 Thu, 01 Jan 2009 01:02:19 +0000 Angie 41198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m wildly impressed, Tanya! I’m glad it went down well and thanks for letting me know. Well done.</p> <p>Sometimes, leaving the pud in the oven a little longer makes it balloom up a little more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/south-african-bread-038-butter-pudding#post-41112 Wed, 31 Dec 2008 01:49:45 +0000 Tanya 41112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have made this pudding right before Xmass and it was huge success, everyone loved it. it was proclaimed to be a 'man-friendly dessert' :)</p> <p>Thank you very much for the wonderful recipe Angie. I have a question: mine didn't balloon up like a soufflé. Is there anything I might have done wrong? </p>
