Did you know bread and butter pudding is a classic English dessert also known as ‘poor man’s pudding’ because it was a way of using up stale bread instead of letting it go to waste? The vanilla flavours, fruity surprises and moist texture make for a delish dessert.

  1. Preheat oven to 150˚C or 130˚C fan-forced. Lightly spray a 2 litre (8-cup capacity) ovenproof dish with oil.
