Bread butter pudding is a British cuisine and is sometimes also referred to as "Poor's Food" because it is made with stale bread. But, in modern times version of it, we use lots of rich food items in it.
In the recipe below, I used milk and cream both. You can replace or increase/decrease the amount of either according to how heavy or how light you want your bread butter pudding to be. You can also add your choice of dry fruits or fresh fruits you like. But just keep in mind, try to avoid fresh fruits which have lots of juices because it will ruin the pudding consistency and it will also be quite tough for it to be set.
There are lots of variations of bread and butter pudding out there. You can play with it too. Custard used in the pudding, you can make it the way you like. I prefer not making cooked version of it, only because uncooked version is very quick and easy to make. And it is going to get cooked anyways in the oven.
Please do try it and let me know below in the comments if you liked it or not. Or any suggestions or different variation you have for me to try out. Happy Cooking!!!!
Ingredients:
3 Cups bread - each slice cubed in 9 pieces
1 Cup milk
3/4 Cup heavy cream
1 Cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 tbsp butter - melted at room temperature
1 tbsp Vanilla Essence
pinch of cinnamon powder
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup nestle chocolate bits
1/4 cup apple - cut into small pieces
Recipe:
1. Take a baking dish and coat it with butter.
2. Add bread cubes, raisins, chocolate and apple pieces to it.
3. In a stand mixer or if you don't have it, do this with your hands in a large bowl. Add eggs and sugar and beat it until a creamy light yellow mixture is ready and all sugar is incorporated.
4. Add milk, heavy cream, vanilla essence and cinnamon powder.
5. Add butter. Do not worry if you see butter threads in the mixture. It is anyways going to melt in the oven.
6. Pour this mixture over bread and soak all the breads properly. If your bread is 4-5 days stale, then leave this mixture for 5-10 minutes to allow bread to get soaked in.
7. Put the dish in the oven for an hour.
8. After an hour, check by inserting a toothpick if it is cooked. Toothpick should come out clean if cooked properly.
9. Leave it over the counter for 30 minutes.
10. Server it hot, at room temp or cold. It tastes good any way :)
