Bara Brith Bread & Butter pudding with Da Mhile Orange liqueur

250ml milk

300ml double cream 

1 vanilla pod, halved and seeds scraped out, or 1 tsp vanilla extract

3 whole large eggs plus 1 egg yolk

3 tbsp golden caster sugar 

8 slices of bara brith

2 tbsp demerara sugar  

Lightly butter an ovenproof dish approximately 20cm x 25cm x 5cm. Slice the bara brith and butter one side of the slices and cut into triangles. Lay half of the bread slices in the bottom of the dish so that they are slightly overlapping. Sprinkle half of the orange zest and 1 tablespoon of Da Mhile orange liqueur over the bara brith. Layer the rest of the bara brith on top then sprinkle over the remaining lemon zest and Da Mhile orange liqueur. 

Remove the vanilla pod from the custard then pour the custard over the pudding. Leave to soak for at least 30 mins, or longer in the fridge, if you like. Sprinkle over the demerara and bake for 35-40 mins until golden brown and puffed up.

Serve with cream or vanilla ice cream.
