Tips for Bread And Butter Pudding

– If you want to save time, you can mix the custard while the oven is preheating. You can also assemble the pudding ahead of time and store it in the fridge for a few hours before baking. This makes it great for busy days.

– For extra flavor, sprinkle a little sugar on top before baking. This creates a lightly crunchy top layer that tastes amazing. If you like things less sweet, you can reduce the sugar slightly without ruining the recipe.

– One helpful tip is to use slightly stale bread. Fresh bread works fine, but day-old bread soaks up the custard better and gives you a creamier pudding. If your bread is very fresh, you can lightly toast it before using.
