Bread and butter pudding is a traditional type of British pudding, made with simple pantry items like bread, eggs, milk and sugar. The recipe transforms these every day ingredients into a light, custard-like pudding in a mere 40 minutes in the oven. You do need to let it rest for a while to soak up the milk, so be sure to give yourself a little extra time.


It's an excellent way to use up stale white bread, making it a resourceful and very economical dish to cook. Remove the crust if you prefer, or leave it on. It works for other types of bread, too.

No fancy pants ingredients required. Just your regular old ingredients in your pantry!

All assembled and ready to be baked.

Every bite of this pudding reminds me of home icon .
