Bread and Butter Pudding
You won’t regret making this classic British dessert. It might be simple, but the cinnamon and raisins give it so much flavor.

Servings:8 servings
- 5 slices toast bread or regular bread
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup raisins
- 2 cups milk
- 2 eggs
- salted butter
Preheat the oven to 374°F. Grease a baking dish.
Butter every slice of bread from all sides, cut in half. Mix sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
Layer bread slices in the baking dish, top with raisins, and add sugar mix, covering each slice.
Pour milk on top and let stand for 10 minutes.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until the pudding is brown. Serve warm and enjoy!
- You can use salted or unsalted butter, as it doesn’t really make a difference.
- Serve this dessert with whipped cream or ice cream on top. I love double vanilla bourbon ice cream on mine.
- It’s important that you give the milk time to soak into the bread. This is the key to a great outcome.
- Add a splash of liqueur to the dessert if you like. Anything from rum to Cointreau, brandy, or bourbon would work nicely.
- Reheat any leftovers in a covered dish in the oven at 325°F. If it seems dry, you can prepare a sauce to serve with it. What about cream, caramel sauce, or strawberry preserves? A scoop of ice cream will also add moisture to the dish so take your pick.
