As well as being delicious, bread and butter pudding is an ideal way to use up the rest of a loaf of bread before it goes stale.
If you live alone, you may often find that you can't get through a whole loaf while it is still fresh enough for sandwiches. Rather than waste it, why not enjoy this warming nursery dessert, with a touch of grown up sophistication.
This is a REALLY SIMPLE dessert recipe, and the only way you can spoil it is to cook it for too long. Placing your pan inside a larger pan of water, will help to prevent overcooking.
The quantities below serve 2, but you may like to double it and serve the remainder, cold, the next day.

You might like to add flaked almonds to the top of your dessert to give added crunch.
Sprinkling with a little demarara sugar before cooking will add a lovely caramelized topping.
This dessert can be adjusted for those of us with food allergies or intolerances. When cooking it for myself, I have to use gluten free bread and a milk substitute such as rice or almond milk. I also have to replace the sugar with a sweetener such as stevia. It still tastes just as good though!
