I have just made an old fashioned bread pudding with some left over bread I found in the cupboard.
I love it - it's real comfort food. Not to be confused with bread and butter pudding, although I love that too.
Does anyone else still make it?

Hello everyone.
The bread pudding is in the oven and it smells wonderful!
Caz - here is the recipe I use although I don't often use mixed peel, just use sultanas and raisins usually and a mix of whatever sugars I've got in the cupboard. I also usually at least double it up (have trebled it today!). Hopefully the recipe will show you the difference CarolG.
8oz bread (brown or white with crusts cut off)
10floz milk
2oz melted butter
3oz soft brown sugar
2 tspns mixed spice
1 beaten egg
6oz mixed fruit (raisins, mixed peel etc)
Break bread into bowl (smallish pieces) - pour over milk, stir and leave for 30 mins to soak.
Add melted butter, sugar, mixed spice and egg. Beat the mixture well then stir in fruit.
Put mixture into buttered dish and sprinkle with nutmeg. Bake in oven (180 degrees C) for about 1 and a quarter hours. I reduce both the heat and cooking time for my fan oven.
Can serve hot or cold and it wont last long!!!
Enjoy!

Fantastic Kez.
My sister used to (and probably still does) made the best bread pudding. A huge baking tray of it would appear and then disappear! Don't think it ever had time to get cold. Good memories.

I love old fashioned bread pud but my recipe is different to Kez's!!!!
As much stale bread as you have...oh, and I just judge quantities as I go..thrown into a large bowl and soaked in water.
Then hands in and squeeze really hard to remove all the excess water, transferring the squeezed out bread into a fresh bowl.
Throw in as much sugar as you want, a great big wodge of butter and a few eggs...hands in again and squidge the whole lot together...eggs oozing through your fingers as you go.
Next it's a load of sultanas, raisins and currants followed by a hefty helping of mixed spice...heavy on the nutmeg....hands in once more and plenty more squidging.
When it is well and truly squidged, and everyone, especially the children help with that bit, it all goes into a suitably large greased roasting dish or similar.
Cook slowly for hours on a low gas, the house will smell divine!
Then enjoy!
To be truly authentic you should actually mix it all up in a plastic washing up bowl!! My old Grandma taught me to make bread pudding like this about 45 years ago and it's how I've done it ever since. It never fails and is delicious every time!!!

Reminders of my childhood. My mum used always to cook this at the end of the week with leftover bread. It would always be a weekend treat - custard on Saturday, buttered (?) on Sunday like malt loaf. I love the spicy smell of bread pudding. I am gonna have a go at cooking some this weekend. Thanks for all your recipes and the reminders of times past.

Good evening to all forum ladies,
I don't often come on to the forum, but following my post for a nice English dessert, I think I might swap the apple pie for the bread pudding: both recipes sound delicious and as our temperatures have gone down here in Madrid I won't mind having the oven on. I will give it a go and say it came all the way from a forum in the UK!!!!

You can't get a more British pudding that Bread and Butter Pudding really - well not after apple pie or a crumble anyway.

I was talking to my Dad last night about bread pudding, as I had never heard of it, and it was his favourite as a boy.
He went into the cupboard in his office and brought out a book, it was his mum's (my Grans) old housekeeping book, and in there is a recipe for bread pudding. I will have a go at making it this afternoon.
I never knew this book exsisted until last night, he told me that he has been waiting for the right moment to give it to me, his mum died when he was just a teenager. He has never talked much about his mum, or his early years.
I had a quick skim through the book, and it is full of all sorts of things, recipes, dress making & knitting tips, my Dad and Uncles measurements through there childhood years - I just hope it keeps raining so I have a good excuse to sit and read through it all.

Afternoon everyone,
Made bread pudding for the first time in ages just last week, lovely though I forgot to add mixed spice which is essential really! Many many years ago I asked my grandma why her bread pudding was darker and richer than mine ~ couldn't believe it when she said gravy browning...
Could do with chunk right now, it's a bit cool here in the West Mids!

Never had bread pudding, but love bread and butter pudding...it must be the cheapest dessert ever!I was at a city centre bistro last night and they were serving b and b puding made with thinly sliced baguette..it looked lovely , but i wasn't going to pay £5 for a load of stale bead!!

I haven't had a bread pudding for years but love it and it reminds me of my dear mum. Never really like bread and butter pudding as much but I did make Baileys Bread and Butter Pud once which was delicious
