Bread and Butter Pudding is a novel favourite when it comes to British classic desserts. The combination of chocolate and orange gives the pudding a balance of richness with fresh, zesty tones.
- Grease the base and sides of a deep baking dish (roughly 25 x 20cm).
- Mix the melted butter with the marmalade. Use this to brush both sides of the brioche slices, and then slice them in half diagonally. Arrange the slices in the baking dish and scatter over half of the chocolate chips. Use a Pinch of Maldon Salt to sprinkle over the dish for taste.
- In a large bowl whisk together the double cream, whole milk, eggs, caster sugar, orange zest and cinnamon. Pour the mixture over the brioche slices and then leave the mixture for 30 minutes for the brioche to absorb the custard.
- Preheat the oven to 180c.
- Once the pudding has sat for 30 minutes it is ready to bake. Sprinkle over the remaining chocolate chips and the demerara sugar then place into the preheated oven for 30 – 35 minutes until golden brown on top and the custard has just set.
- Allow it to sit for a couple of minutes before serving with some extra cream.
