Bread and butter pudding is a traditional type of British bread pudding made of buttered bread, raisins, and egg custard. The recipe transforms milk, cream, and egg-soaked bread into a light, custard-like pudding in a mere 40 minutes in the oven. You do need to let it rest for half an hour to soak up the custard, so be sure to give yourself a little extra time.

This delicious dessert is 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.

"This bread and butter pudding was excellent, and the recipe was very easy to follow. It wasn't overly sweet and it puffed up beautifully when baked. The buttered bread and sprinkling of sugar makes the top brown and crisp. I used plain white sandwich bread and golden raisins." —Diana Rattray

Recipe Variations

• A bread and butter pudding can be made with Italian panettone, croissants, brioche, brown bread, and even hot cross buns.
• Use a vanilla bean instead of the vanilla extract. Split open the bean, scrape out the seeds, and add the seeds to the milk and cream before heating. Let the beans infuse for 5 minutes before straining the milk over the beaten eggs.

How to Store and Reheat

• Bread and butter pudding reheats well covered with aluminum foil in a hot oven. It's also delicious cold, cut into large wedges.
• It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days but is best eaten within two days. To prevent it from drying out, cover it tightly with plastic wrap.
• You can also freeze baked bread and butter pudding for up to three months. Let it cool completely and wrap it tightly in multiple layers of foil and seal in a freezer bag to trap the moisture.

What's the Difference Between Bread and Butter Pudding and Bread Pudding?

There are many bread pudding recipes. Though they're all a little different, the egg custard and cinnamon-nutmeg spices are common. Bread and butter pudding is popular in the United Kingdom and you will find recipes in the United States that are nearly identical. The primary differences are that British recipes butter the bread before it's soaked in the custard, include raisins or sultanas, and typically don't cover the dessert in a sweet sauce when serving. Many other bread pudding recipes use cubed bread rather than larger pieces. However, none of these elements is exclusive to the U.K.'s bread and butter pudding.
