Old Fashioned Satisfyingly Stodgy (in the right ways!) Bread Pudding

Written up by Blake & Bull's Katy

This photo of Christine C's rather delicious dish full of crunchy topped bread pudding with our chicken textiles took me on a journey down memory lane...

As a child, after we moved from East London to Cirencester, we lived on a higgledy piggledy ancient street. At one end was the river churn and at the other the beautiful Parish Church. Just before the church was a bakers that had been there for generations. It sold the best doughnuts, Russian salad rolls in crunchy baps and this, proper old bread pudding amongst other sugary delights. It was a momentous day when I was given some small change, and sent out on the walk up to the shop for the first time on my own!

Christine C took me happily back there with this photo and has gifted us her Nana's recipe to try! I am so excited... I had never thought to bake it! And it sits very well with the no waste way of cooking and baking. Thank you Christine!

This recipe is the perfect fit for fits on runners half size roasting tin and pre-cut non stick liner
