Baileys Bread And Butter Pudding Recipe

Bread and butter pudding is such a classic British dessert that it’s hard to think of anything better to serve up after a Sunday roast or as a dinner party pudding. It’s rich, creamy and a little bit boozy thanks to the addition of Baileys liqueur in this recipe. It’s a great way to use up any bread you’ve got left over and want to use up before it goes off too.

What’s more, this recipe makes a pudding large enough to serve up to eight people, so it’s the best sweet treat to make if you’ve got a lot of mouths to feed – and there’ll probably be enough for seconds too!
