”My (half Welsh) Grandmother used to make bread pudding unlike any I have seen since. Unlike the bread and butter puds I see now where you can see distinct slices of bread, I think she used to crumb stale bread, mix it with mil(?) and dried fruit, then bake it. There was no semblance of sliced bread and it was more like a stiff custard. I must try and work out what she did and try it sometime”

Bread Pudding, and Bread and Butter Pudding are two completely different things, Dave. They are often conflated…

Our local baker sells Bread Pudding, which is like a spicy, heavy cake - I love a slice with my afternoon cuppa.

We make Bread and Butter Pudding at home as a special Sunday dessert. Very yummy indeed with plenth of thick custard.
