Simon’s Bread and Butter Pudding is a fruity twist on the classic, with the addition of ripe bananas and juicy Medjool dates. It’s a great way to use up stale bread and store cupboard ingredients. Simon recommends leaving the custard to soak into the bread for half an hour before baking for a softer, gooier pudding.

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf thick sliced white bread
  • 300g butter, 200g and 100g for the sauce
  • 150g demerara sugar
  • 3 bananas, cut into slices
  • 6 eggs, 3 whole eggs, and 3 egg yolks
  • 600ml double cream, 500 ml and 100ml for the sauce
  • 100g caster sugar
  • 1 dash vanilla extract
  • 9 dates, chopped
  • 100g soft dark brown sugar

Method

Step 1

Cut the crusts off the bread and butter each slice.

Step 2

Arrange a layer of the buttered bread against the back edge of large baking dish, sprinkle over some of the sugar, then add a layer of bananas and dates. Repeat until all of the bread, sugar and bananas and dates have been used up, finishing with a layer of bread and a sprinkle of sugar.

Step 3

For the custard, beat the eggs, egg yolks, vanilla extract and sugar in a bowl.

Step 4

Heat the cream to scalding then pour onto the egg mixture. Whisk well until combined, then pour over the bread pudding. Leave to stand for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

Cook the pudding at 175˚C for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard has set.

Step 6

Meanwhile for the sauce, heat the ingredients in a heavy-bottomed saucepan until just boiling, then remove from the heat.

Step 7

Serve a bid dollop of pudding with loads of sauce and extra cream.
