Rachel’s Banana Butterscotch Pudding @kerrygoldusa

ban butterscotch pudding 15816

I absolutely adore this pudding from Bill’s book, Simply Bill. He made this when I appeared with him on Great Food Live, and as soon as I tasted it I was hooked. I have adapted the recipe slightly to fit the pie dish that I have. To make this for 12 people, double this recipe and cook in a 10-inch square gratin dish for 55 minutes.

Ingredients:

FOR THE PUDDING:

1 cup (4 oz) all-purpose flour

3 tbsp baking powder

1/2 cup (4 oz) superfine sugar

1 egg, beaten

1 banana, mashed

1 cup milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

6 tbsp (3/4 stick) Kerrygold Butter, melted

FOR THE TOPPING:

1/2 cup (4 oz) light brown sugar

2 tbsp corn syrup

2/3 cup boiling water

Softly whipped cream or vanilla ice cream

Directions:

TO SERVE:

Preheat the oven 350°F (180°C). Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl. Add the sugar. Mix together the beaten egg, mashed banana, milk, vanilla extract and melted butter. Pour mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Pour this wet dough into a 9-inch pie dish and place the dish on a baking sheet.

To make the topping, put the brown sugar, corn syrup and boiling water in a saucepan. Bring to the boil and then drizzle over the pudding. Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until it feels slightly firm in the center. Serve with softly whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. If you’re not going to serve the pudding immediately, keep it somewhere warm until you are ready—it sits quite happily.

Irish Scones with Kerrygold Butter and Jam

Irish_Scones_with_Kerrygold_Grass-Fed_Butter_and_Jam

This scone recipe can also be made into one large loaf cooked on a baking sheet. Cut a deep cross in the center and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 400ºF (200ºC), Gas mark 6 and continue to cook for another 20 minutes until the base sounds hollow when tapped.

Ingredients:

  • 2 2/3 cups (1lb) plain flour, extra for dusting
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 tsp caster sugar
  • 2 tbsp (1oz) Kerrygold Salted Butter, chilled and diced
  • 1 cup (8fl oz) buttermilk
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • Kerrygold butter curls and strawberry jam, to serve

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C), Gas mark 7. Sift the flour into a bowl with the salt and bicarbonate of soda. Stir in the sugar and then, using your fingertips, rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

Make a well in the center and pour in the buttermilk and beaten egg. Using a tablespoon, gently and quickly stir the liquid into the flour. It should be soft but not sticky. Lightly flour the work surface. Turn the dough out onto it and pat into a circle about 1in (2.5cm) thick. Cut into triangles with a sharp knife or stamp out 2in (5cm) rounds with a cutter.

Arrange the scones on a non-stick baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes until well risen and golden brown. Leave to cool for at least 10 minutes on a wire rack, then serve with the butter curls and jam.

 

Cheddar variety

Mix ¼ cup (1oz) (25g) of Kerrygold grated Aged Cheddar in with the buttermilk. Brush the finished scones with melted Kerrygold butter and sprinkle with another ¾ cup (3oz) (75g) grated Kerrygold Aged Cheddar before baking. Mix 1 teaspoon wholegrain mustard into 2 tbsp (1oz) (25g) of butter and use to spread on the split baked scones before topping with sliced cooked ham or tomatoes to serve.

 

Fruit variety

Add ½ cup (2oz) (50g) of sultanas or raisins or dried pitted cherries when stirring the sugar into the dry ingredients, then finish as described above.
