Felt sure there would be a recipe for this pudding in my 37 year old Edmonds Cook Book but there isn't. Did a search on here but nothing came up.
Can anyone share this recipe with me please.

Haven't made for years, but used to grease a pie dish, layer with buttered bread (crusts off) & cut into square. Sprinkle sultanas over then pour milk, beaten egg, sugar & tsp vanilla over. Bake slowly around 160.
Gordon Ramsays recipe - I made with plain bread and with just milk, was delicious.

Butter bread, crusts or not your choice, 1st layer butter side against dish. Remaining bread spread with raspberry/ strawberry, any jam you like. Scatter sultanas between. Beat eggs, retaining 2 whites (again eggs depend on how large your dish) with approx 1 small cup of milk per egg, sugar to taste. Pour over and leave to stand so egg mixture soaks through. (You can help this if in a hurry by lightly pressing) Beat egg whites and approx 2tablesp of sugar per white to make a meringue type mixture, spread over and cook in aslow/moderate oven for60mins. (Watch topping and if browning a little quick turn oven down or cover) Serve with cream and/or ice cream. Lovely warm but any leftovers will still be gobbled up cold! Sorry, amounts are vague but I just throw this together, amounts dependant on how big the dish/ or how many I am feeding. Daughter in law makes a quick pudding just using crusts and not adding the topping. Lovely comfort food for a cold night.

I made b&b pudding one night - made it in cups! I soaked the bread in the egg and milk mix, this had orange juice added to it. Half filled the cups then added some frozen blueberries. Topped with more mix then baked in the oven. On servingI dusted them with icing sugar and presented on the saucers with the spoon alongside. looked impressive I must say

Kernal this pudding is called Queen Pudding. Difference is added jam & meringue topping.

Seems a lot of people still don't know the difference between bread pudding, bread and butter pudding and queen pudding.They are all different.Queen pudding is very similar to bread pudding but it has jam and meringue on top.Bread and butter pudding is made in ovenproof dish by layering buttered bread with dried fruit and sugar, and then making an egg and milk mix and pouring over it, so that when it is cooked the egg/milk mix forms a custard of sorts.Not at all like bread pud or queen pud.

Yes, I've made Queen Pudding lots of times but thought I'd do a B & B pudding for tomorrow when my girlfriend comes over for lunch.I love the 'old fashioned' puddings. My mother used to make Queen Pudding and B & B pudding.

It's interesting that b&b pudding was used as a cheap way to use up stale bread, but with bread & milk no longer being cheap could it now be considered a treat!

at the end of the day, if you make what you think is bread and butter pudding, but you make it like bread pudding, and you enjoy it, who really cares.If you make what you think is bread pudding and you put meringue on top of it, does it really matter whether it's bread pudding, bread and butter pudding or queen pudding as long as you enjoy it.But, if I ask for a recipe for a particular pudding, then that's probably the recipe I'd like, not one with a similar name but made completely differently.And just for interest, queen pudding is listed in one of my ancient recipe books as "queen's pudding" and in another as "queen of puddings".
Making any of these puddings with hot cross buns sounds yummy.

I seem to remember Nigella doing a decadent take on the Bread & Butter Pudding by making it with croissants.

elliehen - that would make it lovely and rich with all the butter in the croissants.

nannahall - my first mother-in-law used to make bread pudding almost the same way that elliehen describes above, but she used to soak the bread in water, and then when it was well soaked, she would drain the liquid from it, and then squeeze it as dry as she could with her bare hands, then proceed as above adding all sorts of things, eggs, butter, sugar, dried fruit, spices etc.I don't think she ever measured much, it was always a case of what she had in the pantry and guesswork, and it was always delicious.
