British Bread Pudding

I didn’t have mixed fruit so I used raisins and cranberries. It was delicious!

Great British recipe that is so easy, plus a good way to use up left over bread. I always freeze all my bread crusts until I have enough to make this recipe. Only changes I made was to add more cranberries, a slurp of vanilla paste and a dash of Maple Syrup. We were brought up on this in UK in the 50’s & 60’s and I would take slabs to school to swap for shop bought cake! This recipe is very similar to the one my Mum made, except she soaked the bread in water & squeezed it out, then added the milk later. Will be sharing this tomorrow with some Scottish friends coming to visit. Thanks for your recipe Anne.

amazing recipe all my family and friends loved it.

This was an excellent use of leftover wheat bread I had made. I estimated the dried fruit I added, just adding a handful of this and that, which was probably a little more than the recipe requested but it worked out great for us. Because I’m not a fan of nutmeg, I only added a slight grating which was fine because of the amount of cinnamon in the recipe.

Darvulya, Plum pudding, or christmas pudding as we brits call it is made from Suet and is steamed. This recipe IS the British Bread pudding that we all grew up on, smells and tastes fantastic. I also used left over cake (i carve and make Birthday cakes) If you are looking for that great stodgy heart warming dish you grew up on, bake this, sprinkle some sugar on top, grab a cuppa and enjoy. Thanks for taking the time to list this for us all to enjoy!!!
