🥘 Ingredients
1/2 lb. of grated bread, 1 pint of milk, 4 eggs, 4 oz. of butter, 4 oz. of moist sugar, 2 oz. of candied peel, 6 bitter almonds, 1 tablespoonful of brandy.
👨🍳 Method
Put the milk into a stewpan, with the bitter almonds; let it infuse for 1/4 hour; bring it to the boiling point; strain it on to the bread crumbs, and let these remain till cold; then add the eggs, which should be well whisked, the butter, sugar, and brandy, and beat the pudding well until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed; line the bottom of a pie-dish with the candied peel sliced thin, put in the mixture, and bake for nearly 3/4 hour.

⭐ Reader Reviews
Honest opinions from readers who have explored this book.
This week, I found myself in the mood for something hearty and nostalgic, so I tried my hand at Mrs. Beeton's Baked Bread Pudding. I expected a dense, sweet treat, but the almonds in the milk infusion surprised me. The subtle, fragrant note they added was delightful, and it elevated the entire dish. I found myself sipping the infused milk while I was cooking, like a little warm, almondy elixir. It made the kitchen smell amazing. The result was a comforting, cake-like pudding that warmed my soul on a chilly evening. The candied peel on the bottom was a nice touch, adding a bit of chewy texture and a burst of sweet, citrusy flavor. This recipe is perfect for anyone seeking comfort in the kitchen. If you're like me, and you love a good, old-fashioned treat that's easy to make and even easier to eat, give this one a try. It's a wonderful way to end the day.
