Lets Step into Spring with an Bake
Bread and Butter pudding goes Spring like !!
Bursting full of blueberries and lemon that combination that hails spring and summer
I’m claiming this pudding British 🤪🤪 infact the first published recipe was apparently 1728 !!!!
Now of course this has now had some major alternations as there is not an egg insight 😜😜
Which for some will be great as sometimes it can taste too eggy if you get it wrong …….so go eggless and take out the worry
I used a white version of my soda bread for this recipe , as purchasing a GF V thick sliced bread wasn’t on the cards for me ……but you use what you have going stale and you usually have in
Recipe for the soda bread is here https://clarescauldron.com/2021/02/20/non-wheaten-brown-soda-bread-ditch-the-yeast/
This dessert is a winner for sure , and an adaptation from a recipe in The Great British Bake Off Big Book of Baking !!!
So you want something different for dessert , you have it here and I can see this gracing the table in other forms over the year
So Lets crack no…….but no egg cracking 😂😂
