Cheap Bread Pudding

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

  1. Soak the crusts of bread overnight in cold water.

  2. Squeeze the bread crusts to remove excess water.

  3. Mix the soaked bread with a little milk and coarse sea salt.

  4. Bake gently at 350°F (175°C) until light.

  5. Serve with cold sauce.

Recipe from a historical cookbook (Internet Archive).

Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
