Bread Pudding

Everyone loves a special treat at the end of a good, home-cooked meal.

Traditional bread pudding is one of the oldest, and most basic “comfort desserts”. First called “poor-man's pudding”, this dessert is first known to have originated in England in the 13th century. Considered an economical and hearty dessert, bread puddings were originally made from stale bread that was moistened in water, and then flavoured with sugar, spices and any available fruit pieces, before baking in the oven.
