making an easy peasy bread and butter pudding
January 10, 2012 at 7:25 pm 10 comments
What’s not to love about edible gifts? This Christmas we received a Pannetone loaf from our friends Dan and Ruth and very successfully scoffed most of it between the two of us (lovely thick wedges slathered with butter for breakfast or a cheeky afternoon snack) and then forgot about the last quarter once it found it’s way into the cake tin for safe keeping. So when I did happen across it and found it looking a bit dry and forlorn refashioning it as a bread and butter pudding seemed obvious.
It must be a good 15 years or so since I last ate bread and butter pudding and I’ve certainly never made it so I did a little googling to see what other ingredients were needed and compared that with I had available. Alas no double cream, so I simply layered slices of buttered pannetone in a dish, sprinkled with extra raisins and cinnamon, and poured over a mugful of milk with 2 eggs and a table spoon of sugar whisked into it and baked it for half and hour at 180°c.
Simple. Delicious. Lovely cold the next day too.
You’ve probably guessed that with all this baking and time to blog there’s little to report in the bump-to-baby department. At least I’ve been able to replenish stocks of Chocolate dipped Flapjacks and if we can ration ourselves to one a day I’d hope baby appears before the empty bottom of the cake tin does!

Cold B&B pudding is an excellent breakfast. You’ve got carbohydrates, fruit, some dairy and egg – what’s not to like?

Very nice, you’re so creative. I’m glad our gift had multi purposes x

Ooh, I love bread and butter pudding, and as I’m in permanent pain with toothache at the moment, nice and comforting. I make it quite often and it’s one of my faves.Think I’ll make some later. It’s almost Seville orange time, and when we’ve made the marmalade, I’ll do a B & B pudding with marmalade.
I think your little one likes all the flavours you’re passing on and doesn’t realise he/she will still be able to get them in the outside world.

My Gran used to make an amazing B&B pudding, but unfortunately she never shared the recipe before she died. Still, it always makes me think of her – the simple puds are the best!!

After the visit today to you of us your mum and dad, I’d bet that the flapjacks and the dark chocolate could be all gone by your bed-time!

Bilbo – I think I enjoyed it more cold for breakfast the next day (or perhaps it was just that as a pudding I took a mouthful too far after a filling dinner?)
Ruth – if I was up to getting in the car I’d be down the shops in a shot to buy another one, so yummy x
Alison – yep no sign yet of this little bun crawling out of the oven yet
Lynne – oooh I bet B&B pudding is lovely with marmalade (that was the beauty of the pannetone – it had an orangey hint to it from the dried fruit). Ooh you’re making me hungry all over again and I’ve just eaten lunch!
Dad – well we’ve done quite well and still have a good half a dozen left. So come on baby you’ve got 3 days!
Nina – simply delish
Jac – yep, still waiting and eating flapjacks!

love bread and butter pud – esp with pannetone (old pannetone is also great for summer pudding but probably not in your winter)
good luck with Baby – you must be well ready by now – hope it isn’t too many flapjacks away
