Bread and butter pudding with Aptamil Pepti

150g (5–6 slices) white bread*
Dairy-free margarine
100g sultanas (or dried apricots, chopped)
2 eggs
40g caster sugar
500ml Aptamil Pepti 1 or Aptamil Pepti 2
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground mixed spice (optional)
2 tablespoons demerara sugar

*Be aware that bread often contains soya flour so if you are avoiding soya choose a soya-free loaf.

Allergy information: NF, SF, WCMPF. Offer at the texture your infant can manage.

1. Preheat the oven to 150°C, 300°F or gas mark 2.
2. Cut the crusts off the bread and spread generously with dairy-free margarine. Cut into small triangles.
3. Grease an oven-proof dish with margarine and arrange half the triangles overlapping in one layer in the bottom of the dish, buttered side down. Sprinkle with half the sultanas.
4. Repeat to make a second layer.
5. Make the custard by whisking the eggs, sugar and formula milk together. Add the vanilla extract and mixed spice.
6. Pour the custard over the bread and leave to stand for 30 minutes.
7. Sprinkle with Demerara sugar and bake for 1 hour until set and the top is crisp and golden.

Chef's tip: Use a dairy-free fruit loaf instead of bread for that extra flavour. Instead of cutting this into triangles, try other shapes such as stars, hearts or diamonds.
