Bread and butter pudding

I am sure that there are loads of recipes for this old fashioned pudding.  Briony over on Crafty Cats Corner blog has a tasty way of making it... My way is dead simple....Simply layer up some jam or marmalade sandwiches in a buttered bowl. Mix three or four eggs with some milk and sugar then pour over the sandwiches. Let it all soak into the bread before baking in the oven until golden and a little bit crisp.... Serve with custard or ice cream. I think it's also lovely  and quite Christmassy if you make the sandwiches with a jar of sweet mince and grate the zest of an orange over it all before you bake it in the oven. I have a jar of elderflower and lemon marmalade in my fridge. I made it this summer when I made the elderflower cordial.. It tastes absolutely delicious so I will give it a try as a bread and butter pudding today. It's a pity I don't have a fresh lemon to zest over it all.
I bet you could make individual ones in little ramekins if you don't want to make a large one

Have a look over on Crafty Cats Corner blog and check out the recipe.  I would love to hear about your version.

  1. I love this pudding, with any additions. It is wonderful made with Brioche bread. I have made a version with plain cake layered with chocolate chips. yummylicious.

  2. Another version I do is add fresh fruit and a little sprinkling of sugar into the sandwich, or dried fruit with a little cinnamon.

  4. Sounds delicious. I haven't made a bread and butter pudding for years as it's not one of D's favourites. I may just have to resurrect and have a go and see if his tastes have changed after all these years.
