It's been a while since my last proper blog post, I know. It's not that I've neglected my food-loving readers, I've just been focusing on my Estonian readers during the last months. Apologies :) But here I am, attempting to start blogging again with this fun take on bread and butter pudding.
Why bread and butter pudding? We were sorting the bread and butter recipes over on my Estonians site with one of my editors, Kaare, and while doing the research, I came across this shortcut version in the British food magazine Delicious. Meanwhile, if you read Estonian, you can check out Kaare's great article on this humble - yet versatile dessert: Millal Sa viimati saiavormi sõid?
Lemony bread and butter pudding with custard and berries
(Saiavorm sidrunivõide, vanillipudingi ja marjadega)
Serves 6 to 8
400 g good white bread (brioche, challah or such like)
butter, softened
500 ml (2 cups) fresh vanilla custard
200 ml double cream/whipping cream
300 g berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries)
6 Tbsp lemon curd or toffee/caramel sauce
Preheat the oven to 160°C . Thickly slice the bread and butter one side of each slice. Cut each slice into large triangles or halves and layer in a 2 litre ovenproof dish.
In a 1-litre jug, mix the vanilla custard and fresh cream, then pour in around the bread slices, pressing the bread down gently. If you can, leave to stand and absorb for about half an hour.
Scatter berries on top, tucking them between the bread slices. Spoon dollops of lemon curd or caramel sauce on top.
Bake in a preheated oven for 40-50 minutes until the bread slices on top are golden brown on edges and nicely crispy.
Leave to rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with a jug of cream or milk (pictured).
How do you make bread and butter pudding?

Hey! Are bread and butter pudding a British thing? I’ve heard of them, usually with jam so the lemon curd is a welcome switch. But here’s a question. If you butter one side of the bread, is it important when building the layers to put the buttered side on the top or the bottom or just consistently one or the other?
Alanna, we eat bread and butter pudding here in Estonia as well, though we're not really adding much butter :)
I've always left the buttered size above, gives a nice crispness and sheen. Should have mentioned that in the post :
"Why won't you go vegan/vegetarian?" The reason I won't go vegetarian or vegan is I've already tried the vegetarian diet, and failed to thrive on it.
