I used to love eating bread & pudding in Uk but since I have returned to Cyprus never had any (for more than 2 years). I shall be eternally grateful if anyone who knows how to make good b&b pudding explains it to me.

OK, I know it is toasted bread with butter and custard poured over it but, I am sure they used cinamon, raisins and stuff - also can one make it with any type of sliced bread (there is a whole variety here as you may well know). How thin or thick the custard should be? Do you toast just one side or both sides of the bread?

Anyone who is good at making it, please let us know!

Hi bigOz,



You don't need to toast the bread but sliced bread a few days old is best. I like to butter one side and put marmalade on it. Layer this in an ovenproof dish and sprinkle with cinnamon, beat three egg yolks & one egg white together with half a pint of milk & quarter pint of double cream, add two tablespoons of suger. Pour the liquid over the bread and sprinkle with brown suger. Put the pudding dish in a bain marie and bake at 175 centigrade for 45 minutes or until the custard is set. You could miss out the marmalade and add sultanas, or at Xmas I use left over pannetone. Yum Yum.

Spider (who I am sure is a wonderful person) has now officially lost the plot.



The only reason to come on this board and ask questions that are trivial and not connected to Cyprus, is because the author has nothing relevant to say but still wants to be seen talking!!



If that's the motivation, fine, but have the courage to admit it.

Thebutler; (or thewife!)

Thank you very much for that. I shall now go out to buy some raisins and try that. I shall use white sliced bread - buıt it sounds like a lot harder than I thought! Is there supposed to be no custard in this?

Its what it I say it is, not sure if they have it in Google though ! have not tried to Google it myself as yet.



Go on try Bisto North Cyprus, I just did and what a surprise ) very very good one, just love it..



Back to the topic, You can put anything you wish into a bread pudding also turn it into a savoury dish with bacon, chicken, mushrooms onions and peppers..give these a slow stir fry first though.

Slowly shakes head, switches laptop off and admits defeat. WTF has Bisto got to do with anything, besides being easy to spell?

Hi bigOz,



The egg yolks + milk & cream & suger form the custard as it bakes in the oven. You can of course pour more custard over the top.

yenibob..Maybe my point was to point out to you that your post was a little rude to just say Google it.. Post 1 was asking if someone on here could hepl explain how to make a nice bread and butter pudding.And here in North Cyprus Bisto is very important to some..not myself but for some on 44. Then you mention courage ? where the hell did that come into anything )

yenibob;

I am an expert on using Google, I am alsoı an expert cook but not so much so with ethnic sweets. Of course you can find recepies on anything edible on google (even info on how to make a bomb or manufacture cocaine). But as far as some food goes, you will never have one recepie for making a perfect dish! Try cooking Chiğnese or Indian from Googled recepies and see if it tastes half as good as the local indian (local in London that is).

The above being the case, I wanted to find out from an English person who can really make a good bread and butter pudding. I shall try tonight and see if it works. BTW Google recepies try to be very specific to the nearest gram with ingredients and make a long story of the thing. I never measure much when I cook but go with the hand! butler's recepie sounds fine and who would know better than a butler's wife???

Hi Bigoz

It is not hard it is easy - As others have said

- use older white bread with and cover with butter

- put it in layers in a dish with raisins/sultanas

- beat eggs, milk and sugar in a bowl

- pour over the top to cover the bread

- sprinkle with nutmeg

Any extras you want/need to add to suit your personal taste.

I (and my Mam) never used custard, cream or anything else - just eggs and milk

(One thing Mam used to do to get the starch out of the bread, was to soak the bread in water and then wring/squeeze it out and use it) - sounds unpleasant but it got all the starch out of the white bread and you got a lovely 'soggy' texture)

Mum would be 102 now - so it has been tried and tested for many years.

Hildy are you getting confused with bread pudding as that is what you do with the bread for that

Definately not - it was bread and butter pudding - must have the butter on the bread - and -

I forgot to add when it is all completed before you put the nutmeg on

you put knobs of butter over the top of the pudding and then sprinkle the nutmeg on the top so that when the butter melts the nutmeg runs over the pudding and gives it a nice crispy top.

- BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING

As I said there are other variations which have been introduced over the years.

When I was born in 1946 at the end of the war they had enough trouble getting butter and often used margarine - they definately could not get custard and cream with their rations. I can still remember Mam getting food with her ration books.
