To get you into the spirit of our British programming, I asked our beauty Merchandising director, Claudia, who is British, to share one of her favorite recipes with us. So - here is her recipe for Orange Marmalade Bread and Butter pudding! It sounds yummy!! Thanks, Claudia!!

Orange Marmalade Bread and Butter pudding

2 rounded tablespoons dark chunky orange marmalade

6 slices white bread, from a good-quality large loaf, ½ inch (1 cm) thick with crusts left on

2 oz (50 g) softened butter

2½ fl oz (60 ml) heavy cream

3 large eggs

3 oz (75g) sugar

Grated zest 1 large orange

1 level tablespoon brown sugar

Pre-heat oven to 350ºF (180ºC).

First, generously butter the slices of bread on one side. Spread the marmalade on 3 of these slices, and put the other 3 slices on top (buttered side down) so you've got 3 rounds of sandwiches.

Now, spread some butter over the top slice of each sandwich and cut each one into quarters to make little triangles or squares.

Next- arrange the sandwiches, butter side up, overlapping each other in the baking dish (7” x 9” x 2” deep) standing almost upright.

After that, whisk the milk, heavy cream, eggs and sugar together and pour this all over the bread. Scatter the surface of the bread with the grated orange zest and brown sugar, then place the pudding on a high shelf and bake it for 35-40 minutes until it's puffy and golden and the top crust is crunchy.

Serve the pudding straight from the oven while it's still puffy, with chilled pouring cream and enjoy!!
