We've gone a bit off the family research here ... but hey its Christmas .... So here's is Granny Bowers Bread Pudding Recipe !:) 225g (8oz) white bread, preferably stale 300ml (1/2 pint) milk 100g (4oz) currants, sultanas or stoned raisins 50g (2oz) mixed peel, chopped very finely 50g (2oz) shredded suet 50g (2oz) Demerara sugar 5-10ml (1-2 level tsps) ground mixed spice 1 egg, beaten a little milk to mix nutmeg (optional) Butter a 900ml (1 1/2 pt) pie dish. Remove the crusts from the bread and break the crumb into small pieces, pour the 300ml milk over it and leave to soak for 1/2 hour, the beat out the lumps. Add the cleaned dried fruit, the peel, suet, sugar and spice and mix well. Add the egg, with a little extra milk if required to make the mixture of a dropping consistency. Pour it into the pie disk, grate a little nutmeg over if you wish and bake in the over at 180 degrees C (350 F) gas mark 4 for about 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Dredge with sugar before serving. The peel may be replaced by an extra 50g (2oz) dried fruit if you prefer. I don't know how to convert the weights I'm afraid - I still work in ounces - and I really don't know anything about cups and such stuff. Does anyone know how many oz to the cup? I hope you enjoy your bread pudding, but I like bread and butter pudding better ... but that's another recipe.

It was served with warm cream poured over top.
