Pudina tal-hobs - Bread pudding

Left-over bread turned into this delidous tea-time sweet. Using Maltese bread or a crusty loaf will give better results.

Ingredients:

1 glass of milk
2 tablespoons margarine
2 beaten eggs
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
150 g sugar
4 tablespoons sultanas
grated rind of lemon or orange
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon mixed spices.

For the top:

2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons dijed breadcrumbs

Method:

Soak bread in water until soft, then squeeze all water out. Put in a basin and add all other ingredients together.
Mix well and add the milk slowly, so the consistency is not too runny.
Grease a pie dish with butter, sprinkle some dried breadcrumbs on bottom, pour mixture in.
Sprinkle the top of the pudding mix with the rest of the bread-crumbs and the sugar. Bake in hot oven for about 45 mins; check if it is ready by insertinga knife, and it should come out dry. Serve pudding warm or cold.
