About this Recipe
Bread pudding is a bread-based dessert that is popular in many cuisines around the world. It is made with stale bread and milk or cream, with eggs, a type of fat such as oil, butter, or suet, and a variety of other ingredients depending on whether the pudding is sweet or savoury. Sweet bread puddings can be made with sugar,
syrup, honey, dried fruit, nuts, and spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, mace, or vanilla. The bread is soaked in the liquids before being mixed with the remaining ingredients and baked.
Why do they call it bread pudding?
After the 13th century, when the recipe began to include eggs, milk, and a type of fat to soak the bread in, the dessert became known as bread and butter pudding rather than poor mans pudding before being shortened even further to just bread pudding.
I have already shared a baked eggless bread pudding recipe in this blog. This one is a classic bread pudding recipe made with eggs and it is the ultimate comfort food on a cold day. Love it on its own or with some custard sauce on the side.

What is vanilla custard made of?
Simple ingredients like milk, cream, egg yolks, vanilla, and sugar, combined with a lot of whisking, yield a sweet, velvety thickened cream - a custard - that can be eaten on its own or served on top of almost anything, from berries to pancakes.
Ingredients for Classic Bread Pudding
Milk:
Milk serves several purposes in baked goods. It provides liquid to hydrate the dry ingredients, adds flavour, aids browning, and softens texture.
Vanilla Essence:
Because of the fantastic flavour it adds, vanilla essence is used in almost every recipe for baked goods. Vanilla extract is always added to desserts because it adds flavour chemically and also brings out the flavours of other ingredients in the mixture.
Raisins :
Raisins are dried grapes. It is grown in many parts of the world and can be eaten raw or cooked, baked, or brewed.
I made this simple custard sauce using custard powder and milk. I will soon share a traditional custard sauce recipe using eggs soon.
