bread pudding anyone?

I had a piece with a cuppa earlier. Not made by me but a wonderful artisan baker in town who's recipe is almost as good as my mum's.
We often buy it, DH loves it too.

I LOVE this thread!
Pass me a napkin please Grannynannywanny ?

Grannynannywanny however you have your jam, and even if you have custard, cream or ice cream with it, it is still ???...!

Where I come from, bread pudding is called Nelson.

It removes the confusion?

Two differents things here - bread and butter pudding is a pudding. Lovely made with brioche too, petra.

Bread pudding, although called pudding is cut into squares and eaten like cake.

I daren't mention this thread to DH.

I was just thinking that....there seems to be confusion about it.
I haven’t made one lately but do make bread pudding normally, as it’s DH’s favourite with a cuppa.
My late MIL gave me the recipe over 50 years ago.

I remember my mother's bread pudding. She only ever made it once or twice. I remember it being very stodgy and only eating tiny squares of it.

Bread and butter pudding was a great favourite, however.

I wish I could make more of this sort of thing. DH, being German, just does not "get" the idea of hot puddings.

I make bread pudding, but have never had it served or eaten it as a pudding, I was brought up to eating it as a cake. Warm and fresh from the oven if you were lucky.

In fact, I have some in the freezer at the moment, which will get served on Sunday, the only day we have a tea meal.

I have just made a bread pudding and am wondering if this is something that is out of date. The recipe I use was given to me by an aunt over 50 years ago. My family love it (so do I). Am I the only one to still enjoy a slice?

Love it but not made it for a very long time. Would you mind sharing your aunt's recipe, please.

I make bread pudding quite often. I used to watch my mum make it when I was a child.
No recipe as such but it always comes out well.
There's a difference of opinion in our family as to whether it is better hot or cold but I think warm is nicest.

I made one yesterday and it has been voted a success!
I keep a bag of odd bits of bread in the freezer and when there is enough I set to and make one.

Bread pudding, oh yum.
My mum used to make the most gorgeous bread pudding. Also making one so that dad could take it to work and share with his mates.

When I was expecting our third child, mum and dad were staying, and made this for pudding one day.
It got things going, and DS2 was born later that day ?

Bread and butter pud with brioche - yummy Callistemon I like the egg custard version rather than the more solid one which is cut into squares. Mouth is watering now maybe I'll mention this thread to my husband

I make bread pudding for our WI stall at local events. It is one of the first things to go, usually to the men. I helped my Granny make it many times. Post war it used up milk on the turn and stale bread, so nothing was wasted.

You can make either for me. I love them both.
I agree that the b&b pudding is even better made with panettone and chocolate.

Very popular in my house. As I try not to eat it -though I love it- hubby takes it to work. He has been known to hide it to stop all and sundry having a nibble." He is a very generous person until it comes to his bread pudding!

NotSpaghetti and tanith we still had the custard poured over in addition to the warm runny jam inside!
Where did I put those wipes, I’ve just dribbled on my phone screen again

I made one at the weekend, I used a fruit loaf that had gone a bit stale, I added more sultanas, brown Sugar , beaten egg and milk, it was lovely. It’s a good old standby in our house ,

Have a loaf of bread on the worktop awaiting my attention! Yummy!

My mother use to make it in a very large roasting pan and always complained she never had any because all eaten before she had a chance.

I soak the pudding before baking in the custard.

I make Bread and Butter pudding for Church functions a lot, well I did.
I used Choco spread instead of butter on one side of the bread with chopped Apricots and Whisky with the custard for the adults and it is very popular.
THe children and those who do not like Whisky (me) like the choco one.

No jam the only thing that goes with bread pudding is hot custard ?

Oh no! Not jam! ?

I loved my Mum’s and none has come close since. A thick dollop of raspberry jam inside the pudding which would be warm and runny when it came out of the oven. Then spoon the warm jam together with the crunchy topping. I almost dribbled on my phone screen there just thinking about it ?

Lovely made with leftover panettone after Christmas.
