Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Raw eggs: Bind the mixture and set into a custard that holds the pudding together.
Hard boiled eggs: Add body and firmness to the pudding as they are stirred into the custard.
Bread: Soaks up the egg custard and provides the spongy, structured base of the pudding.
Milk: Adds moisture and richness, helping the custard set softly during baking.
Butter: Adds fat that enriches flavour and helps the top brown in the oven.

The step that matters

Bake until the liquid is absorbed. Eggs set as they heat, so underbaking leaves a runny centre while overbaking can make the custard rubbery and dry. Look for a set centre and light browning at the top and edges.
