Bread and Butter Pudding with Berries

Post by urbangriller »

Born out of tough times, Bread and Butter pudding was a way to use up stale bread, it is comfort food for a lot of us, easy to cook and packed with memories of Grandma!
Nowadays, we are a little more extravagant and this version will delight first timers and bring back a flood of memories for those who remember grandma’s bread and sultana version!

6 Croissants torn to pieces
2 cups frozen mixed berries
½ cup Brown Sugar

For the custard:
2 cups of milk
1 tsp vanilla extract or paste
4 large eggs
125g caster sugar
125g icing sugar for dusting

Preheat the cooker to 160°C (320°F). fill an ovenproof dish or 4 individual ramekins with the torn Croissants. Mix the custard ingredients with a whisk and pour over the Croissants.

Allow the puddings to stand for about 10-15 minutes then sprinkle with the Berries and Brown Sugar before baking. Bake for 30-40 minutes until just golden brown and bubbling.

Dust with the icing sugar and serve immediately with a jug of fresh cream.

Chris, should you cook this until the custard actually sets firm? I made one of these (with the croissants, but using sultanas not berries) two nights ago and was a bit disappointed. The custard set so that it ended up tasting more like a quiche or scrambled eggs! Or maybe that's how its supposed to taste, been so long since I have eaten it I've forgotten :(

Hi Bob,

It still needs to be wobbly....quite wobbly as it will continue to cook in the hot bowl. Get more sugar and vanilla in so the scrambled egg taste goes away!

Thanks Chris, I'll up the vanilla and sugar next time. And maybe cook a little less. Should it be liquidy or fully set, like a cake? Wobbly sounds pretty well set to me?
