Layered buttered white bread and raisins in a rich cream-and-egg custard.
About Bread and butter pudding
Tom Kerridge’s classic bread-and-butter pudding uses buttered white bread layered with raisins and nutmeg. Cream and egg yolks supply the custard in this selected British dessert version.
The flavour combines sweet cream, butter and dried grapes, with nutmeg giving warm spice. Extra caster sugar forms the caramelised finish above the custard.
The pudding contrasts a soft, creamy interior with its crisp sugar surface. Bread triangles remain visible at the top, and ice cream is an optional accompaniment supplied by the recipe.
