manicdays

this is how I made mine yesterday.

8oz bread in chunks
1 pint milk
3 oz sugar
4 oz butter melted
5oz raisins
4 eggs
1/2 t'spoon mixed spice

soak bread, raisins mixed spice & 1/2 the sugar in a bowl for about 1/2 hour. Give it a good stir & add beaten eggs mixed with melted butter & sugar.

Cook on 190-ish for about 45 mins.

Its delicious.

It comes out the oven a bit wobbly but sets on cooling. It was lovely warm but today has been very very nice cold!

This recipe using croissants went down very well over christmas - the only thing to mention is that there seemed to be a bit too much custard for the croissants, so scale it down a bit or add more croissants! it's quite heavy and we ate it straight from the oven without any ice cream and loved it!
(and apparently it's better with stale croissants so the reduced ones in the supermarket worked a treat!)

I don't want to be picky but bread and butter pudding and bread pudding are two different puds.

Bread and butter pud is made by buttering slices of stale white bread,layering them in a custard mixture(egg+milk),sprinkling with sugar and baking.Sometimes dried fruit is added.It is sometimes called Newmarket pudding.

Bread pud,on the other hand is a mixture of breadcrumbs of almost any sort,which are soaked in milk before being beaten up to get rid of lumps.Sugar,dried fruit,fat of some kind,and eggs are added and the whole lot is baked.This turns out more solid than b&b pud,more like a cake.

As a young woman ,my mum worked in a canteen ,where bread pud was made of any leftover bread,cake,pastry,buns whatever.She hated it and won't eat it even now.

One trick mum used with bread and butter pudding was to spread apricot jam over the bread before putting the dish together.

Gorgeous!

Quite true!

Bread and Butter Pudding can be made with *any* dough based bread/teacakes/croissants. It was traditionally made with left over bread/bread and butter that was served from other meals.

I've made B&B pud with a whole variety of different yeast dough based breads - even left over jam butties :rotfl:

Many traditional recipes are based on humble "leftovers". Anyone tried B&B pud made from Panettone :drool: D-LISH!!!! I've even used left over Brandy Butter as the "butter" to make B&B pud

Penny-Pincher!!

I love bread pudding as you only need a little to fill you up and lasts ages in the cake tin.

Yum,or what about marmalade? Or put chunks of chocolate between the layer of bread.

I love bread and butter pudding and have tried all the posh ones (chocolate spread, brieoche(sp?), jam etc) but always love the very simple one my mum used to make. No fuss no frills. Just bread and butter sprinkled with sugar and throw a few currants in. Pour over a pnt of milk and shove in the oven. Lovely!
