“As a kid I remember the bread pudding my Gran used to make would be a regular tea time snack. It’s one of those puddings or cakes that all households that cook should make once a week. It makes a great tea time snack or try serving it as a pudding with some homemade ice cream like marmalade or even brown bread ice cream.”Time and servings
