I've not made one for years, they're far too big to eat alone. But the way we used to do it was:

Butter/marg some slices of bread. Cut these into squares/triangles and pop them into a baking dish, sprinkling sultanas/currants between the layers. Whisk an egg into some milk, chuck in a big spoon of sugar; pour this over the bread so it all gets some on it. Sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar on the top (for browning). Bake.

Pastures, thats bread and butter pudding which is more of a dessert. Bread pudding is much denser and more of a 'cake' type thing, though could be eaten with cream or custard!

My mum used always to add a small amount of gravy browning to bolster the colour.

and i take issue with the 'they're too big to eat alone',,, ahem


anyway, here is my receipe for savoury bread and butter pudding, in case anyone was interested

make cheese, hot mustard and fried onion sandwiches (plenty of mustard).

also fry up some small green pepper, mushrooms, bit of bacon if you fancy it

put a small layer of the pepper and mushroom mix at the bottom of the dish

put a layer of the quartered sandwiches over that, then put another layer of the pepper and mushroom mix, then another layer of the sandwiches.

pour over a mixture of beaten eggs, with more mustard in that, with salt and pepper

then cheese all over the top


OMG!!!!

puddy

it smells and looks delish

i have now sprinkled sugar over it

its not quite as brown as some i have seen, but its swollen to about twice the size of the mixture (probably due to the eggs)

just so happens i have some clotted cream in the fridge too

It sounds just right Jenner! I normally make it one day and slice it the next as it cuts better when it's cold, but I'm sure you're going to be eating it warm with cream melting over it!

I have to confess that although I make so much of it...I've never tasted it! There's never a shortage of colleagues though to sample my produce:)

My recipe for bread pudding, as posted on another OS thread:

Take:

about 8oz bread - cut or break up, put in bowl, soak for at least half an hour in
1/2 pint milk (could be reconstituted dried milk or whatever kind you've got).

After soaking, give it a good mixing - should be all collapsing and squishy.
Preheat oven to 180 oC and lightly grease a 2 pint dish.

Add 2oz melted butter or margarine
30z soft brown sugar
2 teaspoons mixed spice
1 beaten egg

Combine thoroughly with a wooden spoon.
Then add
6oz dried fruit (whatever you like)
grated rind of an orange and/or a lemon

When it's all thoroughly mixed, pour into the baking dish. Sprinkle top with
1/4 nutmeg, grated and a dessertspoon of white sugar.

Bake for 1 hour 10 mins.

I love this cold, like cake, but my kids love it hot with custard.

My mum used to make this when I was little but it was even more MSE, using water to soak the bread and suet instead of butter. I prefer my version but each to his own...
