Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Bread and Butter Pudding.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9-inch round pie dish or cake pan to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.
Step 2
Next, take your slices of bread and spread a generous layer of butter on both sides, then cut them into delightful triangles.
Step 3
Begin layering the buttered bread in the bottom of your prepared pan, allowing the pieces to slightly overlap for a beautiful presentation.
Step 4
Once you have your first layer, sprinkle half of the sugar and half of the currants or raisins over the bread, adding a touch of sweetness and texture.
Step 5
Now, it’s time for the second layer! Place the remaining buttered bread on top, followed by the rest of the sugar, creating a lovely, sweet foundation.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and a pinch of nutmeg until everything is well blended and frothy.
Step 7
Pour this creamy custard mixture over your layered bread, gently pressing down to help the bread soak up all that deliciousness.
Step 8
Pop your creation into the preheated oven and let it bake for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until it turns a lovely golden brown and is set to perfection.
Step 9
Once it’s done, allow it to cool slightly before serving, and get ready to enjoy a warm, comforting dish that’s sure to delight everyone at the table!.
