Britian: Lost Bread (Eggy Bread)

Recipe Introduction


This recipe uses Fair Trade ingredients and can be found in the Fairworld Cookbook, published by Oxfam and Cassell, priced £7.99. Fair Trade means that the people who actually grow and produce our food get a fair return for their work.

Lost bread is an ancient English sweet-bread which was originally called payn pur-dew - taken, very loosely, from the French. It is also known as eggy bread, and it can be eaten at breakfast or as a snack.




List of Ingredients




75g (3oz) butter
2 egg yolks
50ml (2 fluid oz) milk
2 teaspoons Fair Trade ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
Fair Trade ground black pepper
4 slices of bread
a knob of butter for frying
1 tablespoon Fair Trade golden caster sugar



Recipe



Heat the butter in a pan until it separates into a liquid and sediment. Drain off the melted butter into a bowl, discarding the sediment. Whisk the egg yolks into the butter, then stir in the milk, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Dip the bread into the egg mixture and let any excess egg drip off the bread before frying. Melt a knob of butter in a frying pan and keep it hot. Fry the bread for three minutes on each side until crisp and golden. Remove the bread from the pan, sprinkle with sugar and eat while still hot.
