‘Bread & Butter Pudding’ is one of my husband’s favourite winter desserts. It is not hard to make, but some fiddly work is required such as buttering the bread slices. I even spread Apricot Jam, then cut the slices, arrange them in a baking dish, etc. This recipe is much easier. Bread can be Hot …
This is my favourite way to enjoy Chia Seeds. To achieve the consistency of the pudding that I like, I mix 2 & 1/2 tablespoons Chia Seeds with 1/2 cup Milk and 1 teaspoon Maple Syrup. And I always add some Frozen Blueberries, because I always have them. You may wish to add fresh Blueberries …

Guess what happens when you add Gelatine Powder to Hot Chocolate and make it into Jelly. I have tried it today and I was amazed.

This is the essentail sauce for traditional Christmas Pudding, but for grown-ups only. I don’t make this Custard Sauce very sweet as I always serve it with sweet dessert, but you may wish to add extra Sugar. The sauce becomes thicker as it cools. You can make it thinner by adding a little extra Milk. …
