This was my Fathers Mums recipe for bread and butter pudding from back in the fiftys.
Its as simple as it always was but hers was something special
My Nanas bread and butter pudding.
About ten slices of white bread buttered both sides with real butter. Stale or fresh it doesn't matter.
Cut them into triangles.
For the custard;
4 eggs
500ml milk or 200 ml cream and 300 ml milk for a richer pudding.
1 Tbs custard power
Half cup sugar
100 ml sweet sherry
1 tsp vanilla Essenece
sprinkle of nutmeg
Wisk.
Into a deep baking dish, Lay out the bread and Halfway up sprinkle over a handful of diced dried dates.
Then continue to build the bread layers.
Pour over the custard mixture and let sit 30 minutes to soak.
Push everything down then sprinkle the top with dark brown sugar.
Bake in the oven (or bbq) at 180c for aprox 40 Minutes whatching for any burning.
Let rest till warm to set the custard and serve with cream.
