How to Cook Bread and Butter Pudding
- Use a little of the butter to grease a 2 pint (1 litre) pie dish. Cut the crusts off the bread and cut the slices diagonally. Spread each of the bread triangles with butter (and marmalade if you are using it)
- Cover the base of the pie dish with overlapping triangles of bread, butter side up. Sprinkle half the raisins or sultanas evenly over the bread, then lightly sprinkle with a little nutmeg and cinnamon. Repeat this layer one more time or until the dish is filled, finishing with raisins or sultanas on top.
- Gently heat the milk in a pan (do not boil). Meanwhile, in a large bowl beat the eggs with about ¾ of the sugar until they are light and airy and pale in colour. Pour the warmed milk over the eggs and continue beating until it is well mixed.
- Pour the egg and milk mixture slowly over the bread then gently press the surface with your hand to push the bread into the liquid. Sprinkle the remaining sugar over the surface then leave to one side for 10-15 minutes to allow the liquid to thoroughly soak into the bread.
- Bake in a preheated moderate oven (Mk 4 - 350ºF - 180ºC) for 40 - 45 minutes, until the surface is golden brown, the pudding well risen and the egg is set. Serve hot.

Bread and Butter Pudding reheats well covered with aluminium foil in a hot oven - in fact I know lots of people who just love it cold, cut in wedges. And (extra tip), if you have it handy, you can add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the milk and egg mix.
Reviews of Bread and Butter Pudding
![]() This is a simple base for a delicious bread pudding. It couldn't be easier and is a perfect recipe for adding your own touches and flavors. I added cinnamon, nutmeg, maple and pecans. I'm not a huge sweet person, but this a fantastic comfort dish with a great "homey" flavor and wasn't too sugary sweet. I look forward to making this again and experimenting with other flavors.
