Bread and butter pudding is clearly one of those recipes that developed from a need to not waste stale bread. Well bread pudding and bread and butter pudding is a derivative of that. It’s pretty much my favourite winter dessert. One of my favourite things about the bread and butter pud concept though is tht it is so flexible.
That’s right, it’s fridge scraps for dinner tonight at Chez KP.

Sorry? What was that? Did you ask me why I need to clean out my fridge? Oh, that would be because the Bread Winner and I are running away for a dirty weekend to Sydney sans Ankle Biters. Excuse me now while I go and implode from anticipation and excitement.
