Goody
Traditional Irish soft bread pudding simmered in milk with sugar and cinnamon.
About Goody
Goody, or goodie, is an old Irish pudding of bread boiled in milk with sugar and spice, historically associated with St John's Eve and simple home cooking. This profile fixes cinnamon as the spice.
Milk softens the bread into a mellow, creamy base, while sugar adds uncomplicated sweetness. Cinnamon supplies a warm woody aroma without turning the pudding heavily spiced.
The pudding is pale beige and soft enough to eat with a spoon, with swollen pieces of bread merging into the thick milk. Cinnamon leaves fine brown flecks across its moist, homely surface.
