I'll happily eat it, especially hot like that, but I wouldn't call it one of my favourites!  :)

Lovely. My ma-in-law used to make them for me. Definitely one of my late husband's favourites (and mine)

Recipe, qahtan?

I only know Bread and Butter pudding.

[qahtan]

 Tim  yes I also ike bread and butter pudding, not too sweet with a nice egg custard in it. warm with lots nutmeg on the top.....
bread pudding, well I just use what I have, depending on how much bread I have, any thing whole wheat or  white, fruit buns, raisin bread etc. This is just the way I make it, not any particular recipe.
but I pulse the bread in the Cuisinart to crumbs, if I don't think I have enough I just freeze them till I do.
to the crumbs I  add brown sugar or honey to taste, and some soft butter, in the old days it was suet but that is not readily available here,
then add some currants, raisins and sultanas lots spice, a coupe so eggs and some milk, enough to make all a bit of a slosh mosh,, let the mixture rest a couple hours to soak up the last strays of milk, put into  greased pan  fork top, I like to line the bottom with a ittle grease proof cos it always sticks. bake at about 400f, till slightly puffed and knife come out chean.. sprinkle top with white sugar,

qahtan - that sounds about like my late mother's recipe. When she had stale bread or buns or whatever she would look in her store cupboards and add anything suitable - including dates, dried figs, apricots mixed peel as well as currants, sultanas and raisins. The mix of fruit, bread, spices, brown sugar, eggs, butter and milk was always thoroughly squished by hand and left for a while before baking. The last time I ate bread pud was in 1994 when my mother and my sister visited me in Spain and she raided my storecupboards to make our old favourite. Ah! happy days!

I also remember the bakery opposite our school selling us slabs of the stuff after school - yum!

Thanks!

Sorry Tim not with you on this one.
I cannot have any dried fruit or mixed peel as I am allegic to this. :(
That means I have missed out on christmas cake, wedding cake, christmas pudding, and all those other lovelies which have all the stuff in that I cannot have. At least I can smell the food as it is made and as it cools after. :)

Yummy. I love it and used to make loads but Im on a no bread thing at the moment so I can only look.

Well I have never seen that before! As my mum was a northerner we only ever got bread and butter pudding.
Trouble here is that French bread doesn't lend itself so well to that sort of thing as it's too salty and dry.
