Gabe's Bread and Butter Pudding
As seen on TV
Which Show?
Who made this dish?
Flavors: stem ginger, apricot and nutmeg, deliberately ignoring the advice not to overwhelm it. Ranked 4th (placement as heard in the transcript).
Gabe: "And butter pudding, don't overwhelm it."
Gabe: "I've got some stem ginger, apricot, nutmeg." (Told Nigella said don't overwhelm it:) "Yeah, I'm gonna ignore that this time."
Gabe: "Beginning to gently thicken now."
Gabe: "I've got no idea how long it's gonna go in the oven."
Gabe: "I reckon it could do with a little bit more of a tan. We're going for Paul Hollywood, not Nigella Lawson."
Gabe: "I mean, that looks like a bread and butter pudding, isn't it?"
[Technical challenge set by Nigella, judged blind. Brief: enhance a classic bread and butter pudding with ingredients from the gingham pantry, without overwhelming it. Judges want a crisp golden top, smooth custard with a wobble, bread soaked rather than dry, and complementary additions.]
Paul: "Okay. Apricot and stem ginger."
Nigella: "I think there may be too much bread."
{Judge}: "Nice flavor."
Paul: "Too much of the stem ginger and it's overwhelming."
