Elder Flower and Orange Pixie Bread Pudding
- 12 loaf bread, cubed. (Or enough to fill a 5x9in loaf pan 3/4 full)
- 4 eggs
- 1 12 cups milk
- 12 cup heavy whipping cream
- 14 cup elder flower liquor
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or 12 vanilla bean
- 3 tablespoons orange marmalade
- 13 cup sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- caramel sauce, for topping
- Spray a 5"x9"(appx 13x23cm) loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place the bread cubes in the loaf pan.
- For the cubes, cut them into approximately half to 3/4 inch cubes.
- Use stale bread so it can absorb plenty of the egg and milk mixture.
- Combine the milk, heavy whipping cream, and eggs in a mixing bowl.
- Whisk until combined.
- Add the Vanilla, Elder flower liquor, marmalade, sugar, and salt.
- Whisk until thouroughly combined.
- The bits of fruit from the marmalade may fall to the bottom of the bowl, that is okay.
- Pour the egg and milk mixture over the bread cubes.
- The mixture needs to sit at room temperature at least 2 hours, or overnight in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap.
- During this time, the bread will absorb the egg and milk mixture so It can bake into a custard.
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees F/175 degrees Celsius While oven is heating, place the loaf pan inside of a larger pan with tall sides, such as a roasting pan.
- Pour warm water in the larger pan, around the loaf pan, until the water comes about an inch(2cm) up the side of the loaf pan.
- Bake for 45 minutes, up to an hour, until the custard has set.
- The pudding will feel springy and the tips of the bread cubes are golden.
- In my opinion, bread pudding is best served re-heated with warmed caramel sauce over it.
- You can serve it once it has cooled down some, but it cuts much nicer cold and reheats quickly in the oven or microwave.
- Purchased or homemade caramel sauce, chocolate, or fruit sauces are all lovely on bread pudding.
- I hope you enjoy your bread pudding!
