Amongst the lines of family visits and many more dinners, I managed to wiggle into my tiny skirt which isn't tiny at all (They're a tad smaller than those required to fit The Hulk). After jumping, rolling and with the help of holding my breath, I defeated the tiny skirt. This means I could have a whole pot of Bread and Butter pudding to myself. It seemed like a good idea.
Once again, please head on over to Pencil Kitchen's
facebook page.
Bread and butter pudding. Its bread spread with butter baked in a smooth soft custard pudding. And for the boozy lovers, a very rum sauce.
And have you had bread butter pudding cold before? Let sit in the fridge overnight and you have yourself a cold dessert for summer.
The original recipe was
Nigella Lawson's Croissant Pudding. However, one of my house rules is to never leave a croissant to stale. So I used leftover raisin bread. Raisin breads are originally sweeter than croissants or white breads, so I reduced the sugar by 1 tbsp but the above recipe is for white/wheat breads. And this recipe is by far the best bread butter pudding i've ever had. Not to forget, the very Rum sauce, I assure you, addictive.
Need a new skirt to contain all these awesomeness,
Jes
The colors and textures in your photos make it look so tempting.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me very much of a dessert I had in the Bahamas - heavenly doesn't even begin to describe it. I like your "skirt test" - I shall remember that one!
ReplyDelete@ love2dine: Thank you! I was showing off my retro orange dish! :D
Delete@ The Caked Crusader: The skirt test doesn't work if you've given up like i did ;D
Yum..that looks delish! Love the blue background :)
ReplyDeleteIt's getting quite cold here, and such a warm dessert on a freezing night would be perfect. Yum.
ReplyDelete@ Jen: Thank you! Putting them homemade boards to good use.
Delete@ Tania: Yup! For us who are melting under the sun, it can be a yum cold dessert too!
Delicious bread pudding for a weekend breakfast is something my little girl looks forward to enjoying. Yum! Yum! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDelete@ My Fudo: Remember to omit the rums. :D
Deletehaha, yum! and i think never leaving a croissant to stale is one of our house rules too. :)
ReplyDelete@ Marissa: It should be in the constitution! A law! A legal binded thing! :D
DeleteLooks delicious! Bread pudding is one of my most favorite desserts ever. It's just so comforting and yummy! Also, I'm heading over to add your FB page to Savory Moments FB page's favorites!
ReplyDelete@ Amy: Thank you! Bread Pudding is always a classic!! You got to love it !!! :D
DeleteHi Jes :) I love bread and butter pudding - had to come check it out and I am not disappointed! Looks incredibly rich and gooey, just like it should be!
ReplyDeleteYour skirt story made me laugh - definitely need a reward if you can fit into your teeniest tiniest skirt! And what's not to love about this pudding. Bread and butter? Yes please.
ReplyDelete@ Denise: Thank you! This was a good recipe indeed!
Delete@ thelittleloaf: Definitely! and i bet I lost a few pounds trying to squeeze myself in!
This looks wonderful! I haven't made a bread pudding in years. Your version sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteNice recipe! I love bread pudding, and this is a particularly good version. I did wander over to your Facebook page and "liked" you. ;-) Good post - thanks.
ReplyDelete@ Mary: Thank you! It was a great recipe by Nigella!
Delete@ Kitchen Riffs: Thank you! I was trying very hard to find a way to "like" you too... :(
I like cold and stale bread and butter pudding! I like to put chocolate chips in my pudding....but I'm mad about chocolate!
ReplyDelete@ WokandSpoon: oh yes you are, yes you are, mad about chocolate! but aren't we all :D
DeleteDoesn't help my waistline!
Deleteyou have a LOVELY site here.. love all your pics. and this recipe - love that you only used 1 tbsp of butter. I made a cinnamon raisin bread pudding a short while ago and I used 1 tbsp too... you really don't need so much fat in every recipe. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the RUM addition.
@ Honey: Thank you! I used butter to substitute the need for cream in the recipe :D
DeleteI like bread and butter, and I like bread pudding, so that means I will LOVE bread and butter pudding, right? :D It looks amazing! Bread pudding is my husband's favorite dessert, so I'm going to pin this one for him!
ReplyDelete@ Kiersten: The traditional method was to spread butter on the breads... plus I thought, what could go wrong with a bit of butter right? Wrong. A lot of things could go wrong. But taste-wise, it was heaven. Now I just have to spend half of what's left of my savings for a fat-suction or Acai Berries. Or a gym membership.
DeleteWooow, this pudding loooks sooooo delicious and the very rum sauce is its big advantage ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis looks heavenly!!! Your pictures are perfect as usual and your skirt story made me laugh!!!
ReplyDelete@ Joanna: Thank you! The very rum sauce got the adults addicted :D
Delete@ Baltic Maid: Thank you, the pictures are far from perfect but i love the kind words! keep 'em coming ha! ;)
stale bread never looked so good. in the past, i've used whiskey sauce on my bread puddings, but never rum sauce, and woefully, never VERY rum sauce. NOTED. :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks like my ultimate breakfast treat - it is scrumptiious, warming and perfect :D
ReplyDeleteCheers
Choc Chip Uru
@ Grace: Stale bread is hard to use up... That's why you gotta love these puddings! Very rum sauce?! Its the best!
Delete@ Choc Chip Uru: Your chocolate bars can go with these :D
wow this looks so dang good. I need to save some bread just for this!
ReplyDeleteRecipes like this confirm that my decision to switch to elastic pants was a good move ;)
ReplyDelete@ Angie: Indeed! Leave some bread stale! :D
Delete@ Parsley: I should give the famous elastic pants switch a chance..
it's worth the bigger skirt ;)
ReplyDelete@ Kale: Definitely hope so. There's only so much sizes.
DeleteYour photos always make me want to take a bite into all your baked treats.. Feeling slightly guilty. Oh! what the heck.. will just run more on in the gym... LOL..I love bread and butter pudding when served with warm vanilla bean sauce and a scoop of cold ice-cream. Delish!! xoxo
ReplyDelete@ Chic: Thank you! I need to join my gym too!!! :(
DeleteAh, such a brilliant british classic, perhaps I shall do it for the jubilee weekend! When I read that you skipped the croissant in the original Nigella recipe, I thought you were going to go on to say it's because you wanted to keep it healthy, but instead, it's because you never let a croissant go stale! Hah! Great philisophy!
ReplyDelete@ Shu Han: That's only because no matter how big a box of croissants I purchased, it never lasts more than 2 days around here. :D
ReplyDeleteWow, this looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteYum yum! Love your styling in these photos!!
