This was absolutely delicious! The bread and butter pudding Ive ever had is very dense and heavy so it was nice to have a light and fluffy alternative. I made a few moderations, I had 3 hot cross buns to use up (it being that time of year!!) so I used those for the bottom layer, I found I only had about a quarter cup of sultanas in the house, but I did have a bar of milk chocolate cooking chocolate :o), so I broke that into squares and put half on top, then I did a layer of bread, sprinkled the sultanas on top and added the remaining chocolate before adding the final layer of bread. I didnt use nutmeg as Im not that keen on it, so I used sugar instead. I also needed to use an extra pint of milk. It turned out really well, and was lovely getting yummy bits of melted chocolate through it :o) Thanks for the brilliant recipe, I shall certainly be making it again. PS, sorry forgot to add, I only soaked it for an hour because I didnt have much time and found it was fine. But will probably try soaking it for the full two hours next time.

What a wonderful pudding! It was such a treat, and an awesome way to use up stale bread. I used currants, and didn't really keep track of how much butter I used- just enough to butter one side of each slice rather generously and grease the dish. Other than that I followed the recipe exactly and it was great- it even looked pretty! The only thing I might do next time is add another 1-2 TBSP sugar to boost the taste a little. Thanks for sharing this outstanding recipe! :)

I live in Hertford in England with my husband, son and dog. I love cooking, and love reading recipie books planning meals for my friends. However, I spend so long reading the books, I tend to be put off trying the recipies myself. I find recipezaar a brilliant resource, and try a new recipie every weekend. My first being spinach and ricotta canelloni which is absolutely delicious.
