Simple Bread & Butter Pudding With Raisins

Howdy! Long time lurker, occasional poster on here. I made this one twice now and it turned out lovely so I thought I'd share. Very simple and takes no time to rustle up if you need a quick, easy dessert.

SIMPLE BREAD & BUTTER PUDDING WITH RAISINS

INGREDIENTS:
2 eggs
500ml milk
2 tsp ground cinnamon
250g plain white sugar
3 handfuls of raisins (currents and mixed fruits also go well in this recipe)
5 slices of bread (Purists insist on using stale bread but I've done this twice with the Everyday Basics fresh white bread from Supervalu and there's really no difference in the taste TBH)
Butter or butter-flavored spread (I used Clover spread as I was out of the regular stuff and it worked grand)

METHOD:

1: Preheat the oven to 190C.

2: Crack the eggs into a jug and add the milk. Whisk until fully blended.

3: Butter the slices of bread and cut in half. Line a baking or large lasagne tray with the slices until the base is covered.

4: Mix the sugar with the cinnamon and shake over the bread slices until evenly covered, followed by the raisins.

5: Pour over the egg/milk mixture and cover the bread evenly. It might look like you have a lot of liquid in the tray but trust me, it'll be fine.
Leave to soak in for 5-10 minutes.

6: Bake on the middle rack of the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until golden brown on top.

7: Take out of oven, leave to cool for about 10 minutes then slice and dollop into a bowl with a bit of cream, ideally served warm.

8: Enjoy!

Here's a picture of my latest effort. Please excuse the picture quality- my phone's camera is a potato. I also really like raisins. :P

[REQUEST] Recipes that include different hot sauces?

I just got some free hot sauces and I've been searching for any kinds of recipes to use them with. I have ghost pepper and blueberry, pineapple and habanero, and jalapeno and green apple. I don't know if there's any marinades with them or anything like that. I'm not picky and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best cinnamon roll dough recipe?

Whenever I make the dough from scratch it comes out tasting really "yeasty". Any tips?

Also I don't understand why anyone would make a cinnamon roll with dry cinnamon-sugar on the inside. Mix that shit with butter people!

Easy & Healthy Mexican: Tinga

This is my favorite Mexican dish because it's very healthy and super delicious! Tinga is basically shredded meat/chicken cooked in a red chile chipotle sauce with onions and served in a variety of ways. This is my family's recipe for Chicken Tinga hailing from Michoacan, Mexico.

You'll need the following ingrediets:

• A whole can of chile chipotle in adobo sauce (add half if you want it less hot)
• 5 roma tomatoes
• 4 cloves of garlic
• 7 dried Chiles California or dried Chile New Mexico (NM chiles provide a smokier flavor)
• 2 red onions
• 3 lbs of chicken breast
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 tbs of salt / add salt to taste

Start by boiling the chicken in water with a bay leaf, half an onion, and 1 clove of roughly chopped garlic. To make the sauce, boil the roma tomatoes along with the dried Chiles California in a sauce pan with some water (enough to cover the tomatoes) for 15 mins. Remove the stem of the dried chiles and add them to a blender, along with the tomatoes, garlic, and the can of chile chipotle. Add 1/3 cup of water and blend on high for 2 mins.

Once the chicken has finished cooking, let it cool and shred it. Set aside, and cut the remaining onion and a half in thin slices. Add onion to a large pan or dutch oven and cook on medium heat for 5 mins, then pour in the chipotle sauce and cook for an additional 2-4 mins. Add shredded chicken to the sauce & onions, mix, and simmer for 20 mins. At this stage, add salt to taste. I add about 2 tbs of salt. Simmer for another 15 mins & finished!

My favorite way to eat it by adding a scoop of tinga on top of a bowl of lettuce and add some avocado and crumbled queso fresco on top. Traditionally, it is served on top of tostadas with some cotija cheese on top and avocado. However, we use it as a filling for any Mexican dish such as sopes, burritos, enchiladas, tacos, etc. If you enjoy a low carb diet, you can make lettuce wraps filled with tinga and avocado, or whatever you desire. Hope you all enjoy it.

Curry Meatballs with a Sweet & Spicy Sauce

Meatballs are cheap and easy to make, but I often get tired of the typical dishes involving them. So, I took it upon myself to try something a bit different: Curry Meatballs. They're delicious and unlike any other dish I've had--but, you know, in a good way. Anyway, I would love to know what you think. The recipe can be found here: http://ift.tt/1Lgjr2g

[REQUEST] Indian Lamb Recipes

I'm specifically looking for Lamb Saag, Lamb Vindaloo or Lamb Tikka Masala but I'm open to pretty much anything.

My only caveat is that I would prefer a simpler versions as I would be trying to get dinner on the table for the family after work. If simpler versions aren't available I'll take them anyway and cook it on a weekend day.
