How to make bread and butter pudding:
One of the most famous English 'Nursery' puddings. This dessert is economical, easy and delicious.



Ingredients

8-10 slices organic bread (white or wholemeal)
1 mug full of sultanas (or any dried fruit for a change!)
1 large organic, free range egg
caster/superfine sugar (or brown sugar if preferred)
organic butter, softened for spreading
approx. 1/2 pint organic milk
(see measure conversions for more information)

Method

- Butter the slices of bread (remove crusts if preferred).
- Place bread buttered side up in a greased, oven-proof dish, layering the bread with dried fruit and a sprinkle of sugar.
- Aim to get most of the fruit into the inner layers of the pudding.
- Sprinkle some sugar onto the top of the last layer.
- Beat egg into milk and pour this mixture over the bread.
- With clean hands press bread down firmly to make sure that it absorbs the liquid.
- Let it stand for half an hour and then bake at 190 degrees centigrade (see temperature conversions) until risen and golden brown on top.

Land For Food Production

I wonder just how much land it would take to feed a family of, say, 4? I know that if my family didn't buy fruit and veg we wouldn't have enough to eat but is self sufficiency down to amount of land or method of growing? Last year I overcrowded my small veg plot with counter-productive results like mildew and snail infestation that went unnoticed until we came to pick the tomatoes (all holes!). I wonder if anyone has ever been totally self providing or whether the local market and barter played...
