Ingredients
- 1 loaf white bread (about 14 oz), crusts removed and torn into pieces
- 2 cups milk
- 2 ripe plantains (or large ripe bananas), peeled and sliced
- 2 cinnamon sticks, plus 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 cup sugar, plus 2 tbsp for the pan
- 1/2 cup margarine or butter, melted
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
Method
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of sugar over the base of a greased 9 in baking dish and set aside.
- Put the torn bread in a large bowl, pour over the milk and leave to soak for 10 minutes until completely soft.
- Meanwhile, simmer the plantain slices with the cinnamon sticks in a little water for 5 minutes until just tender; drain and discard the cinnamon sticks.
- Mash the soaked bread with a fork until fairly smooth, then stir in the sugar, melted margarine, beaten eggs, vanilla, ground cinnamon and salt.
- Fold in the cooked plantain slices, keeping some pieces intact for texture.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and level the top.
- Bake for about 30 minutes until set in the centre, puffed and golden brown on top.
- Cool in the dish for at least 15 minutes, then cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
