Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Heat the oven to 150C/300F/Gas 2. Lightly grease eight pudding bowls. Halve the apricots, remove the stones and chop the flesh into small cubes. Place in a bowl and sprinkle with a tablespoon of sugar, add the liqueur and leave to macerate. Whisk the rest of the sugar, eggs and the vanilla until pale and creamy. Add the cream and milk, stir and pass through a fine sieve into a jug. Layer the bread with the raspberries and apricots in the moulds. Pour over the custard and leave to stand for 15 minutes. Stand the moulds in a large baking dish and pour in water to reach halfway up the sides of the moulds. Bake for 30 minutes. Serve at room temperature. Turn out the puddings on to plates, dust with icing sugar and serve with a jug of cream.
