Description

Learn how to make a classic Bread and Butter Pudding, a comforting dessert that transforms stale bread into a creamy, custard-like dish. This recipe uses buttered bread slices layered with raisins and baked in a rich egg and milk mixture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 slices of day-old bread (white, brioche, or challah)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup raisins or sultanas (optional)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • A pinch of salt
  • For Serving: Custard or cream, Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking dish with butter.
  2. Spread butter on one side of each bread slice. Cut bread into triangles or squares.
  3. Arrange half the buttered bread in the baking dish, buttered side up. Sprinkle half the raisins over the bread. Repeat with remaining bread and raisins.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the layered bread. Press gently to soak.
  6. Let the pudding sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb the custard.
  7. Bake for 35-45 minutes, until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
  8. Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
  9. Serve warm with custard or cream.

Notes

  • Day-old bread works best as it absorbs the custard without becoming too soggy.
  • Allow the pudding to soak for a proper amount of time to ensure a creamy texture.
  • Store leftover Bread and Butter Pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat individual portions in the microwave or oven before serving.
  • This bread butter pudding recipe can be prepared the night before.
