Bread and Butter Pudding (Classic)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven:
    Preheat to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
  2. Prepare the bread:
    • Butter each slice of bread.
    • Cut into triangles or cubes.
    • Layer bread in the prepared dish, sprinkling raisins between layers.
  3. Make the custard:
    • In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon (if using) until smooth.
  4. Assemble the pudding:
    • Pour custard evenly over the layered bread, pressing down gently so the bread absorbs the liquid.
    • Let it sit for 10 minutes to soak.
  5. Bake:
    Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
  6. Serve:
    Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm, optionally with a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of cream.

🌟 Tips:

  • Use stale bread — it soaks up the custard without becoming mushy.
  • Add a splash of rum or brandy for a richer flavor.
  • For extra indulgence, sprinkle nutmeg or chocolate chips between layers.
