    I'd add a couple of eggs to the mixture to help it bind.

    The Maltese Pudding, known as Budina tal hobz has varied within families, but I tend to stick to the original.. In England, I tend to substitute the Maltese bread with pain de tradizjon bought from french delis's such as ''la mason', or 2nd closest would be a plain ciabatta.. however, only the soft part is used, not the crust. And it has to be 1 to 2 days old... The method is the same as given above, but the original ingridents are as follows... simply.. 1/4 of a large maltese loaf equivalent to 3 pain de tradizion french bread, or 3 large ciabattas .. no crust .. 1/4 pint milk and 2 beaten eggs, 2 heaped tbsp cocoa, 4 oz sugar .. handful of raisins/or sultanas, grated rind of half a lemon, and a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg. The only ingredient i add is walnuts. This receipe is a good way to use left over bread, and although the sliced white is not appropriate as it is glutenos, it can be mixed with the other brands mentioned. good luck.

    I was a bit sceptical as it seems to use every ingredient under the sun, but I have it say we all really enjoyed it. I used a shot of gin and a shot of ouzo which I guessed we're the next best thing. Served with single cream.
