Classic Bread and Butter Pudding
Recipe Information
Bread and Butter Pudding
Cultural Context
Bread and Butter Pudding has its roots in the UK, dating back to the 18th century when it was created as a way to use stale bread. This comforting dessert reflects the resourcefulness of British households, turning simple ingredients into a warm, custardy treat. Today, it remains a beloved classic, with variations incorporating different fruits and spices, enjoyed in homes and restaurants alike.
heavy cream
🥗Healthier: milk
💰Cheaper: evaporated milk
Milk provides a lighter texture while keeping it creamy.
butter
🥗Healthier: coconut oil
💰Cheaper: margarine
Coconut oil is dairy-free and adds a subtle flavor.
sugar
🥗Healthier: honey
💰Cheaper: brown sugar
Honey is natural and can enhance flavor.
raisins
🥗Healthier: dried cranberries
💰Cheaper: sultanas
Dried cranberries add a tartness and are often more affordable.
Cut the crust off of 10 slices of white bread.
Use stale bread that has been sitting for 3-4 days for better absorption.
Butter one side of each slice of bread with room temperature butter.
Spread apricot jam over the buttered side of the bread.
Cut each slice of bread diagonally into two pieces.
Layer the bread in a 1.5 liter baking dish, buttered side up, in a single layer.
Top the bread with a layer of raisins or golden sultanas and sprinkle with cinnamon.
Add a layer of brown sugar on top of the raisins and cinnamon.
Repeat the layering process with another layer of bread, raisins, cinnamon, and brown sugar.
In a saucepan, combine milk and heavy cream and bring to a simmer without boiling.
Once simmering, turn off the heat and let it cool slightly.
Crack 2 room temperature eggs into a bowl and add 3 tablespoons of white sugar, whisking until pale.
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the egg mixture and mix well.
Slowly add the warm milk mixture to the egg mixture while whisking continuously to avoid scrambling the eggs.
Pour the custard mixture over the layered bread, ensuring all pieces are soaked.
Use a spoon to push down any bread that is floating above the custard.
Refrigerate the mixture for around 30 minutes to allow it to set.
After 30 minutes, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of white sugar on top for caramelization.
Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for around 40 to 45 minutes until golden and set.
