Bread and Butter Pudding

March 23, 2014 by Werona

Bread and Butter Pudding is an old English dessert, which both the love of my life and I ate as children.       As a child I would have much preferred that Mum just left out the golden raisins (or as I would call them, sultanas) – but as I’ve aged I’ve come to appreciate their juicy sweetness.

This recipe is a combination of a recipe from my Mum and a few recipes that I have found over the years.     Some Bread & Butter puddings have a very firm custard, while some are quite runny.   I like mine to be in the middle – not too firm but not full of liquid.

The recipe adapts very easily to become a gluten free dessert. So far my favorite bread for this dessert is Udi’s Gluten Free Whole Grain Bread, as it absorbs the custard really well. I do use which ever gluten free bread is in my home at the time though – the bread in these photos is All But Gluten Sliced White Loaf. It has a higher rice content, which I find does not absorb the custard as well, but it still tastes fine.

My favorite part of the pudding is the custard. The milk and eggs become baked custard in a Bread and Butter Pudding, giving it that delicious creamy taste.

The preparation is really quite easy for this dessert.   You do need to let the bread soak for 10 minutes, but I use that time to quickly clean up the mess that I’ve just made.   45 minutes in the oven, and you have a delicious, satisfying dessert.
