Pear bread and butter pudding

Ingredients

  • 15-18 slices of day-old bread (slice pan or brioche or croissant…)
  • 50 grams butter at room temperature (plus extra to grease the baking dish)
  • 300 millilitres full cream
  • 250 millilitres milk
  • 55 grams sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 poached pears, base cut to stand up
  • 50 grams sultanas – optional

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 180 ° C/350F/Gas Mark 4.
  2. Spread the sliced bread with butter on one sides and cut into triangles.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar, add the cinnamon, cream and milk, and whisk until combined.
  4. Grease a baking dish of approximately two litre capacity.  Place the pears in the centre of the dishes or prepare four individual dishes each with a pear in it. Line the dish with the buttered slices of bread and scatter some sultanas too. Finish with the layer of bread.
