Ang: [Sca-cooks] bread puddings

[agora at algonet.se]

This is a recipe we has been using in my family for several generations.
Ana

Take bread from yesterday and soak it in warm milk.
Let it calm for several hours.
Beat some eggs (I dont have any proportions, I am recreating from memory 
only)
and add it to the mixture.
Cut candied fruits in small pieces and add it to the mixture.
Add cinammon and vanilla as well.
Make a caramel sauce.
Put the mixture in the oven and bake it.
When its almost ready take it out the oven and pour the caramel sauce over 
the pudding.
Put in the oven for five minutes more until the caramel has melted in the 
mixture.
You can also have cognac or calvados in the mixture.
Bon appetit!
Ana

Lady Ysabeau mentioned in her review of the recent Bryn Gwlad Candlemas 
feast:
> The dessert was a spiced bread pudding with sauteed apples and
> pears. The bread pudding was very different from any bread pudding
> I've ever had and was made with red wine (instead of milk, I
> think). It wasn't like bread, it was kind of flat and sticky but
> really really good.
Yes, this was one of my favorite dishes of the feast, although I liked 
most of them. Unfortunately, I've not see the cook, Mistress Maedhbh, 
post any of the recipes to the local or Ansteorra list, yet. I guess 
I'm going to have to decide which dishes I liked the best and make a 
request.

The apples and pears were a bit firmer than I might have chosen, but 
Maedhbh told me that she specifically wanted them firm. So, that is 
probably a matter of personal taste.

I also don't remember bread puddings being discussed much on this list, 
although I do have perhaps a few scattered through the Florilegium. 
However at this time, I have no file dedicated specifically to these.

Does anyone have any particular period bread pudding recipes/redactions 
which they like? For that matter, since I seem to like bread puddings 
(I've only had them twice, that I remember), I wouldn't mind getting 
any non-period bread puddings that you particularly like.

Thanks,
   Stefan
