LIFESTYLE NEWS - This bread pudding is easy to make and oh-so-delicious.
Ingredients
- 400-500g of your favourite bread loaf, cut into 2.5cm cubes (an enriched dough/something with like brioche, panettone or hot cross buns work best)
- 1 cup raisins/sultanas or a mix
- 50ml Grand Marnier/orange liqueur (optional)
- 4 large eggs

Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C.

- Place eggs in a very large mixing bowl, whisk briefly.
- Add milk, cream, melted butter, sugar, vanilla and orange zest. Whisk to combine.
- Add bread cubes, soaked raisins and leftover liqueur.
- Mix very gently and set aside for a few minutes to allow egg mixture to soak through the bread. Pour into a baking dish.
