Panettone Pudding

Whisk the eggs

There's nothing like lovely puddings to follow a meal especially when it's cold.
At this time of year in Italy panettone ( a bready Christmas cake) is on sale at greatly reduced prices.

This is my version of Bread and Butter Pudding.
Use a 750ml oven to table dish. Grease it. I use a little sunflower oil for greasing, something an old Aunt told me to do.

Sprinkle spice on the panettone

Add milk to the eggs

Pour the custard mixture over the panettone

Break up slices of the panettone and place a layer in the dish. Sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg or both on top. Repeat with another layer of pannetone until it reaches the top of the dish.

 Whisk 2 eggs together add some more spice if you like and 25g of brown sugar. Whisk to dissolve the sugar.

Sprinkle sugar on top

Warm 400ml of milk (do not boil). I use a jug as it makes pouring easier. Pour the milk into the egg mixture and whisk until the mixtures are uniformed. Pour the mixture back into the jug and then pour over the panettone in the dish. Sprinkle brown sugar on top.

Leave for about 20 minutes then bake in an oven at 160 degrees for about 20 minutes until the pudding has risen and is golden.

Leave to rest before baking

The finished pudding

Panettone pudding with icecream

Serve hot with cream or icecream. My husband likes to eat it cold for breakfast.
