Can I make my pudding ahead of time ! eg my dinner is in the oven, so can I prep my pudding now for it to go in whendinner is finished ! Or not recommended as the bread would soak up the egg mix !

vampiriousmist, I always do so myself and my understanding from watching various TV chefs over many years, is that bread and butter pudding is better if (and should be) prepared in advance so that the bread can "soak up the egg mix".:-))

Try crushed pineapple, shredded coconut and pieces of dark chocolate instead or either the jam or dried fruit. A chef I know uses cream instead of milk and additional egg yolks as well as whole eggs. Love the stuff, but haven't made it in ages. Good thing about wintertime, there is a reason to indulge a little :)

I have no fruit lol so Ihave made a vanilla one using vanilla sugar and some vanilla extract in the mix :) Hoping it tastes okay with no fruit.
Edited to say: Darn ! I never thought of jam ! Maybe next time !

Just like bread pudding and bread & butter pudding - the only similarity between the two is that they both use bread and milk!
I like to make bread & butter pudding with panettone or spread alternate slices of the buttered bread with marmalade or apricot jam

We have just made this recipe yum
BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING 6 small bread rolls sliced into 3 and buttered (these are the rolls from the supermarket that taste like cotton wool, but really work a treat in this pudding) 6 tablespoons dried cranberries Hand full of frozen Raspberries 3 eggs beaten with 3 tablespoons sugar and 1 ½ tsp vanilla Whisk in 3 cups of milk into the egg mixture. Grated nutmeg Preheat oven to 180degc. Line ½ the bread pieces on the bottom of baking tin butter side down, top these with the cranberries and the raspberries and another layer of bread butter side up,pour over the liquid ingredients and sprinkle with some more cranberries.Grate the nutmeg over the top. Leave ten minutes, letting the egg mixture soak through .Put baking tin into a roasting dish, fill roasting dish with hot water until the water is ½ way up the depth of the pudding pan.Bake 30mins @ 180degC until just set, remove from roasting pan and return to oven at 100degC and crisp/dry out the top, I do this while eating our main course.Dust with icing sugar and serve with ice cream, custard or runny cream. Mrs moggyman (made a few changes to an existing recipe frozen rasp work a treat.

don't see why you couldn't use wheatmeal - just will give it a slightly different flavour

I have always had a jar in my fridge filled with all types of dried fruits and topped up with brandy mainly as a standby should I need to whip something up in a hurry- my Spanish DIL uses sherry. For a very decadent dessert I fill croissants with the fruit mix, insert a small amount of brandy butter (yes think christmas pudding) slightly layer them into a greased dish and pour over a custard made with cream, sugar and eggs. Bake in the usual way and serve with whipped cream or creme fraiche. Absolutely delicious and especially good for a different dessert for a mid winter Christmas.

"This is the best ever, once discovering this recipe, I never make any other ! Apricot Chocolate Bread and Butter Pudding. 100g chopped dried Apricots ( the real ones, not turkish) - 100g chocolate drops - 4-5 croissants - 30g butter(diced) - 1/4 c sugar - 3 eggs - 600 ml milk. Tear 1/2 the croissants into biggish pieces and put in ovenproof dish. dot with 1/2 the butter, chocolate, apricots and sugar.Repeat with remaining croissants, chocolate, apricot butter and sugar. Whisk eggs with milk and pour over. Press down croissants so they soak up liquid. Put in fridge 1/2 hour. Bake 45 mins at 180'C.
