Best Vegan Bread and Butter Pudding
This is my own personal vegan take of the traditional Bread and Butter pudding, that happens to be our family favourite.
Servings: 6 people
Calories: 307kcal
Ingredients
...for the pudding...
- 6 Wholemeal Bread Slices divided in triangles, sub with white or 50/50
- 60 g Raisins
- 2 tablespoon Brandy
- 100 g Margarine or vegan butter
- Demerara sugar to sprinkle ⅔ tbsp
- Lemon Zest to top
...for the custard...
- 500 g Plant Milk
- 25 g Corn Starch
- 50 g Icing Sugar
- 5 g Vanilla Sugar
- 1 Lemon zest
- ½ teaspoon Lemon Essence
- ½ teaspoon Orange Essence
Instructions
- Weight the sultans and pour over the brandy. Set aside.
- Make the custard by weighting the powders then add milk a splash at the time, until completely incorporated with no lumps.
- Add the lemon zest peeled (or grated) making sure not to cut in any white bit of the skin, which will give a bitter taste that we will love to avoid.
- Cook on low-medium heat until it thickens stirring the custard all the times.
- Lightly butter an ovenproof dish approximately 10cm x 25cm x 5cm. Butter both sides of the bread and cut into triangles. Lay half of the bread slices in the bottom of the dish so that they are slightly overlapping.
- Spread half of the soaked sultanas with some drop of the soaking liquid over the buttered bread.
- Layer the rest of the bread on top then sprinkle over the remaining fruit.
- Pour the custard over the pudding. Leave to soak for at least 30 mins, or longer in the fridge, if you like.
- Meanwhile heat oven to 180° C (355° F).
- Sprinkle over the demerara sugar and grate some extra lemon zest if you like.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and puffed up. Enjoy warm with vanilla ice cream, clotted cream or simple whipped cream.
