My jazzed up panettone bread + butter pud...

This dessert is an oldy but definetly a goody my granny "Nanos" made a fab bread+ butter pud. And as a consequence my dad is obsessed with the dish I told him I would make this for him over crimbo + he said "now make sure you add plenty of raisins"..

Iv jazzed up this oldy a touch, check it out.

For this dish you will need...

880mls of creamy warm custard

1 large panettone loaf 

1 cup of cranberries

1 cup of raisins

1/2 cup of sliced almonds

1/3 cup of caster sugar

You can either bake one large bread pudding or do what I did + make two Puds in two 2lb loaf tins!!!

Firstly cut the panettone into long slices + then cut them in half. Next start placing them in your tin {which I lined with loaf tin liners} around the sides to begin with and then in the centre.

Once all the panettone is tucked in snuggly in the tins sprinkle in your raisins, cranberries + almond slivers all over the the panettone { don't be to concerned about sprinkling the raisins etc between the slices as the panettone has raisins in it already...

Now it's time to pour over your warm creamy custard, onced it's all covered don't be afraid to squish it all down to make sure all the panettone soaks up the custard...

Pop the loaf tins in a pre heated oven and bake for 55mins @160" and not a minute more...

This is my last blog for 2013 and also the last dessert iv eaten for 2013... Happy New Years my lovelies...roll on 2014

Wonder what my first blog if the year will be....

Enjoy

Buttermilk chocolate chip waffles

Anyone that has been to America or Canada over the years will have experienced "the diner". With their gigantic laminated menus, and everything on the menu comes with a side of bacon or can whipped cream.

For me it's always a toss up between the all American pancake or the whopper sized waffles {topped with freakily glazed strawberries and cream}. My obsession with waffles started way back when I watched this movie called Don't tell mom the babysitters dead {I love odd movies}.

So iv been on the hunt for a waffle iron for the past year and to my surprise I couldn't find one..and then two months ago lidl had them for sale JACKPOT..

For this recipe you will need:

A waffle iron lol

1 cup of plain flour

1 cup of buttermilk

1 teaspoon of bicarbonate soda 

1 free range egg

1/4 cup of plain choc chips

1 teaspoon of vanilla paste

In your bowl beat your egg and pour in the buttermilk and vanilla paste. Next sift in the four and bicarbonate soda. Once your batter is smooth and frothy.

Slowly ladle in a small amount of the batter into each waffle section and close the iron down. When its ready the light will go off on your iron, I was able to get six waffles from this mixture which is amazing and extremely cost effective!!!

I dusted these bad boys with some icing sugar...DELISH...

Enjoy
