Trim I have been on a 1200 diet for 5 wks all I can say is "get behind me satan"
Ps I can taste what its like with two bolas of vanila icecream nestling and gently melting next to 1/2lbs of your sadistic creation.
PPs I forgot to add, dusted with little drifts of icing sugar, or what about to blobs of Cornish Clotted Cream or maybe....................life is so hard!

or, caramelize sugar with bourbon infused milk, and drizzle over bread pudding. Just choose, and life gets easier.

I found a bunch of heels of bread in my fridge, so I decided it was time to try this recipe.

I weighed my heels and only had 300 grams (2/3 of a pound), so I cut all the ingredients to 2/3. I used whole multigrain bread. It still turned out fabulous.

I ran short of white sugar for the lemon sauce (I made the full amount) so it was 1/3 cup white and 2/3 cup brown sugar. I found the sauce to be too sweet, but really tasty. Then I noticed that I had forgotten to add a beaten egg. D'oh!

I let the sauce cool off, added a beaten egg, and reheated to boiling with constant stirring. So, of course, I had to have another serving to test the repaired lemon sauce. Now it isn't too sweet.
