You will need..... 3 oz. butter 8 oz. fresh white breadcrumbs 2 oz. demerara sugar 1 1/2 lb. cooking apples 1 lemon Preparation Time 2 tablespoon water 20 minutes 1 oz. castor sugar 1/4 pint double cream

Melt butter
in a frying pan. Add breadcrumbs and fry slowly until crisp and golden,
stirring frequently. When they are ready, remove from heat and blend in
the demerara sugar. In another
pan put peeled, cored and sliced apples, lemon juice, water and castor
sugar. Cover and cook until the apples are soft, then mash to a smooth
puree. Leave to cool. Put half the
cooled apple puree into a 1 1/2 to 1 pint glass serving dish. Spread
half the breadcrumbs on top. Repeat with a layer of apple and
breadcrumbs. Leave to chill before serving. Just before serving spread
or pipe lightly whipped cream on top of pudding and sprinkle with
coarsely grated chocolate. Serves 4.
Quick Tip
When
you have too much bread in the house make fresh breadcrumbs. These keep
in a polythene bag in the refrigerator for a week or more. Use for
Queen of Puddings, hot apple charlotte and not forgetting the old
favorite, treacle tart. |
