Bread And Butter Pudding

Bread butter pudding recipe is made by layering slices of buttered bread scattered with raisins in an oven dish into which an egg and milk mixture, commonly seasoned with nutmeg (and sometimes vanilla or other spices), is poured. The earliest bread butter pudding recipe were called whitepot and used either bone marrow or butter. Whitepots could also be made using rice instead of bread, giving rise to the rice pudding in British cuisine. Baked custard pudding have been around for a long time. Not only is it easy to prepare but also very very rich and creamy making it a popular item at the dining table.
