1. Welsh Recipes: Bara Brith bread and butter pudding (pwdin bara brith)
   
   Even if it is smothered with butter, that last few slices of week-old bara brith are dry and horrible – but don’t panic bin it! Make it into something amazing. Butter t...he bara brith and place the slices in a heatproof dish, fill the gaps with indulgent egg custard mix and a drop of your favourite liqueur, and oven it for at least half an hour. There you have it – the best comfort pudding in Wales, and you feel thrifty and smug at having successfully created a silk purse from a pig’s ear. Yippee.
   
   Ingredients
   
   Approx 250g sliced and buttered (preferably unsalted) bara brith
   
   125ml double cream
   
   450ml milk
   
   40g soft brown sugar
   
   3 eggs
   
   2 tbs demerara sugar
   
   Method
   
   Preheat the oven to 170c/150c fan.
   
   Lightly grease the dish.
   
   Slice up the leftover bara brith and butter it.
   
   Lay it in the dish, and then add a couple of cap-fulls of your liqueur. I chose Cointreau and some dark rum. You could use whisky or brandy.
   
   Put the egg, cream, milk and sugar in a bowl and beat it then pour into the bara brith dish.
   
   Leave it to soak in for 15 – 30 minutes.
   
   Sprinkle the demerara sugar on top.
   
   Put it in the oven for 30 – 40 minutes until set and slightly browned on top.
