Method
Bread & Butter Pudding Directions
- 1
Prepare the Bread
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Slice the stale bread into triangles. Butter each slice generously on one side.
- 2
Assemble the Pudding
Layer the buttered bread in a greased baking dish, buttered side up. Sprinkle the raisins or sultanas evenly between the layers.
- 3
Make the Custard
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, milk, cream, vanilla extract, and ground nutmeg until well combined.
- 4
Combine and Soak
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the layered bread, ensuring all pieces are soaked. Let it sit for about 30 minutes to absorb the custard.
- 5
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the custard is set. A knife inserted should come out clean.

Serve
Allow to cool slightly before serving warm, optionally with cream or custard.
