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.<\/p>\n

\"Bread<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"Bowl<\/a><\/p>\n

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<\/a>\"\", 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.<\/p>\n

\"Bread<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"Bread<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
