I love old fashioned bread pud but my recipe is different to Kez's!!!!

As much stale bread as you have...oh, and I just judge quantities as I go..thrown into a large bowl and soaked in water.
Then hands in and squeeze really hard to remove all the excess water, transferring the squeezed out bread into a fresh bowl.

Throw in as much sugar as you want, a great big wodge of butter and a few eggs...hands in again and squidge the whole lot together...eggs oozing through your fingers as you go.

Next it's a load of sultanas, raisins and currants followed by a hefty helping of mixed spice...heavy on the nutmeg....hands in once more and plenty more squidging.

When it is well and truly squidged, and everyone, especially the children help with that bit, it all goes into a suitably large greased roasting dish or similar.

Cook slowly for hours on a low gas, the house will smell divine!

Then enjoy!

To be truly authentic you should actually mix it all up in a plastic washing up bowl!! My old Grandma taught me to make bread pudding like this about 45 years ago and it's how I've done it ever since. It never fails and is delicious every time!!!
