Nans Recipes simple and good
- Replies 0
I was going through my grandmother's recipe book and found a few I wanted to share.
These are ones that I used to make when I started cooking , ones my nan taught me.
These recipes are old Australian recipes and I would say either from Ireland or England
I did have to convert most measurements
Bread Pudding
This was one she made in a sunday but when I cooked it I did it any day of the week
Ingredients
6 slices of bread preferably a couple of days old
3 eggs separated
3 cups full cream milk
1/2 cup sugar
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
Jam of choice
Method
1 . Butter bread then spread thin later of jam on each slice. Then arrange in baking dish
2. Beat egg yolks , add milk and whisk. Add the sugar, salt, and vanilla and whisk together
3. Pour over bread.
4. Using a larger baking dish fill with hot water until it comes around half way up Then place baking dish with bread in it into the dish with water
5. Bake in moderate oven 170 deg until custard is set , around 40 minutes.
6. Beat egg whites and add 3 tablespoons of sugar. Beat until thick and spread over bread/ custard mixture.
7. Return to a slow oven to brown . About 15 min
I will stop at step 5 and eat it as is. My grandmother added the egg white top for something different
