Hi Bold Bakers! Bread and Butter Pudding has been a staple in many Irish homes for donkeys years. My mum made this exact recipe for us growing up. Like a lot of traditional dishes this recipe came about as a way to use up leftover, day-old bread. Already have an account? Growing up in Ireland I’m used to eating hearty, comforting desserts like puddings. Due to our cold weather and dark days dishes like Bread and Butter Pudding were a good way to warm you up. I might be biased or just nostalgic but I think my Mammies’ Bread & Butter Pudding recipe is the best I have ever tasted. I just love how the warm cinnamon/egg mixture combines with the buttery bread when it bakes. I created this recipe for The Inspired Home website. It’s a place where I go to find out what new products are coming out along with tips and fantastic recipes.

I baked my Pudding in a beautiful white Le Creuset Heritage Cover Square Casserole dish. It was nice and deep which gives you a lot of soft pudding. A good pastry brush that doesn’t shed is my Mason Cash Pastry Brush. I used it to brush my pudding dish generously with butter. I served my pudding in a Tag Ivory Sonoma Rimmed Bowl. I’m happy to add these to my collection of treasures because the neutral tone means they fit in anywhere. As always pride and place in my kitchen is a John Boos Chopping Board. Add it to your wish list if you haven’t already, it’s life changing. Considering I’m tight on kitchen space, this board gives me a whole new surface to work on.
Top your Irish Bread and Butter Pudding with freshly whipped cream or even ice cream if you like. I hope you enjoy my Bread and Butter Pudding for St. Patrick’s Day or any time of year. Hopefully it will warm your heart and home — like it did mine. Get more Irish Recipes:
