Traditional Bread Pudding

One of my favourite desserts happens to be the good old dessert....bread pudding.
Bread pudding or bread and butter pudding is an old favourite throughout the world.

Traditionally famous in Britain since the 13th century, this recipe has had it's fair share of "vamping up" over the years. Newer recipes have included adding Whiskey, fruit such as raspberries and even marmalade to spice up the old fashioned bread pudding.

For those of you who have never had bread pudding before, bread pudding is made from bread with an egg like custard.

I do recommend that you should try it once in your lifetime, as you could be missing out on one special pud!

Bread and Butter Pudding ( A simple version)


Loaf of bread (approx)
1 Cup Sultana's
1 Cup Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla Essence
3 Cups Milk
4-5 Eggs

Grease an oven proof dish

Break up slices of bread into chunks, and with the sultana's sprinkle into the dish to fill below 1/2 inch below the top of the dish.
In a bowl, combine eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla with a mixer.
Pour the liquids over the bread and sultana's.
Dab small knobs of butter on to the top of the pudding.

Place into the oven on 180ÂșC for 40 - 45minutes.

Another option is to add a sprinkling of nutmeg over the top before cooking.

Enjoy!
