How To Make Bread and Butter Pudding

Any type of bread can be used – white, wheat, french, brioche, croissants or even hamburger and hot dog buns. Because it’s better at absorbing liquid ingredients, stale bread is preferred over fresh bread.  It’s a great way to get rid of leftover bread instead of letting it go to waste.

Bread and Butter Pudding

First, cut off all crusts on whichever bread you decide to use.

Then spread butter on both sides of each slice of bread.

Preheat the oven to 350° F.

Bread and Butter Pudding

Layer the slices of bread into a large ovenproof dish.  Scatter the raisins and ¼ cup of sugar between each slice.  Altogether you should end up with approximately 3-4 layers of bread.  Then beat together the eggs and ¾ cups sugar into a large mixing bowl until combined.

Now heat the milk and cream in a large saucepan until they reach a boil.

Then pour the boiled milk and cream over the egg mixture. Whisk together until smooth.

Slowly pour the mixture over the buttered bread and let it stand for approximately 10 minutes.  Bake the mixture in the oven for 40 minutes or until completely set.

Nothing says home like the smell of banana bread in the air…..and this Copycat Starbucks Banana Walnut Bread is my favorite of them all. It’s super moist and tender and the walnuts add the perfect crunch!

Copycat Starbucks Banana Nut Bread

We highly recommend using ripe or even brown bananas…..because the riper the bananas, the sweeter and better the bread will taste.
