BREAD PUDDING FROM BELGIUM


This bread pudding is one of my mothers recipes. My mom told me that in the war the people use to gather old bread to make this bread pudding so that they had something edible to eat.  Obviously it wasn't made so fancy like we do it today but you get my drift.
She use to always just make the bread pudding without any measurement and it always came out 2 different ways.  The one way was like a cake like texture whereas the other way was my favourite which I am sharing with you now. It took me a couple of years to figure out why the recipe was always different.  When I use to ask my mom how she got it so dense she didn't know.  She use to say she just makes the bread pudding out of her head & with the ingredients she had.
One day I was on holiday in Brugge and there in one of the bakeries was my bread pudding I liked.  You can only find the cake like bread pudding and not this dense one.  I asked my sister in law what made this bread pudding so different to the cake like bread puddings? She replied to me: "eggs".  Wow! Eggs!  Who would have thought. Well, I took my mom's recipe & added more eggs.  It worked.  My bread pudding came out perfect!




This recipe is a small batch. You can double this recipe or even quadruple it BUT you have to bake it so much longer.  The picture on top is my bread pudding recipe quadrupled and this had to be bake for an hour and a half (give or take).  The bread pudding must be risen in your pan.  Like bloated, then you know it is ready.  Also during the baking process you might need to cover it with foil as the raisins tend to burn easily.

Give this recipe a try as it is Super Easy & made with leftover bread.  NO wasting of any food & no special gadgets needed to make this recipe.

BOLO DE CACO

These delicious buns are so yummy and NO they are not English muffins.  These muffins are made like your basic bread dough but they are bake on a griddle pan.  I absolutely love these delicious buns.  I use to buy these muffins at our local fruit & vegetable market until one day to my shock they didn't sell them anymore.  I was so dissapointed & asked the manager why they didn't supply these muffins anymore.  I was told that the baker had gone on pension & they didn't know how to make them.  Well, after persuation I asked them to give me his number.  Relentlessly they agreed and I phoned him.  He was not willing to share his delicious recipe.  However he gave me the name of this muffin as they were sold only in a plastic bag with no name.  He revealed to me that they where called Bolo de Caco originally from the Island of Madeira.  He got this recipe from his friend who lived  there. Well, I jumped on the inter...
