BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING
This simple bread pudding is an easy way to use up those bits and pieces that seem to lie around the pantry. Save a fortune and make this tasty pudding. I like to serve this with custard sauce but it goes well with whipped cream, ice cream, or also great on its own.

BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING WITH BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE (LIGHTER)
Mandy from Oz requested her recipe#243686 be made lighter so I took on the challenge. I not only cut the fat and sugar but added more flavor. Yum! I started with 1 serving of her recipe and worked off of that and made it 2 servings. I think this would be good with bananas tossed in orange juice mixed in it too! There are more ways to make it even lighter which I have offered below. You could also omit the sauce. ***Nutrition facts for Splenda brown sugar blend: 1/2 tsp= 10 calories and 2g sugars. So if you use all of it in this recipe that should bring the calories up to 386 per serving and the sugar to 20.5g per serving.

Tips:
- Stale bread is best: Use day-old or even two-day-old bread for the best texture. Fresh bread will be too soft and will turn to mush in the pudding.
- Use a variety of breads: For a more interesting flavor and texture, use a combination of different types of bread, such as white, wheat, and sourdough.
- Don't oversoak the bread: The bread should be just slightly moistened, not soggy. If it's too wet, the pudding will be too dense.
- Use a good quality custard base: The custard base is what makes the bread and butter pudding rich and creamy. Use a recipe that you like and that uses fresh, high-quality ingredients.
- Don't overcook the pudding: The pudding is done when it is set in the center and the top is golden brown. Overcooking will make the pudding dry and tough.
- Serve the pudding warm or cold: Bread and butter pudding is delicious served warm or cold. If you're serving it cold, let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving.
Conclusion:
Bread and butter pudding is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, it's a dessert that everyone will love.
