I always made a split down th middle and put butter in. But mayb that's not necessary at cooking stage.

But I can assure you, REAL butter is essential when they come to the table!

They take a lot less in a fire, don't break the skin.

I have parboiled them for around 10 minutes before putting them in the oven.

And you can eat them without butter too, they have their own sweet, nutty flavour.

Life is for living, and a baked or boiled, or mashed spud without REAL butter and a smidgin of salt is no good IMV!

Give us the full recipe please, Spidey. I saw a recipe once for chocolate bread and butter pudding. When i made it it was delicious, but terribly rich...

make it like you would ordinary bread and butter.
Thick slices buttered and layered in a dish...
Pint of milk in a pan (568 mls for those that do that metric sh1te)...bring to the boil.Take off the heat and whisk in a beaten egg.pour into the dish....sprinkle with brown sugar..and into a hot oven (200) for about 30 mins.
Serve with ice-cream or cream...absolutely delish!!


and laden with calories I'm sure...but its winter...and we need a bit of insulation surely!!

A great positive thread this one . A favorite cheap quick meal of mine is cold boiled spud chipped and fried in the pan in a small amount of olive oil ,with two fried eggs . Good quality tomato relish on the spuds and Thai sweet chili sauce on the eggs . It's surprisingly good and costs cents .

I notice you haven't included raisins.

I knew you had some redeeming qualities.

Thai sweet chilli sauce is the devil's work.

Awful sh!te which I will never forgive the Celtic Tiger for inflicting upon us.
