3Bread and Butter Pudding
There’s something beautifully old-fashioned about Bread and Butter Pudding. Originally created as a way to use up stale bread, this dessert layers buttered slices with raisins or currants and bakes them in a custard of milk, cream, eggs, and sugar. The result? A golden, custardy pudding with a soft center and crisp edges.
This comforting dish became a household staple during the 18th and 19th centuries and remains a favorite for its warmth and simplicity. Some modern versions include chocolate chips, orange zest, or even croissants instead of bread for an extra decadent twist.
Try it at: Traditional British pubs or make it at home for a cozy weekend treat—it’s budget-friendly and endlessly customizable.
