Servings: 6 portions
Equipment
Ingredients
- 80 g butter (softened - or at room temperature)
- 400 g gluten free white bread (the standard weight of a UK loaf, approx 8-10 slices)
- 200 ml milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 100 ml double cream
- 3 eggs
- 80 g caster sugar
- 1 pinch nutmeg (optional)
- 60 g currants (or swap for chocolate chips)
- 2 tbsp demerera sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C / Fan 160C / Gas Mark 4. Use a little of the butter (around 1 tsp) to grease a 20cm x 30cm rectangular baking dish.
- Thickly butter the slices of gluten free bread with the remaining butter. Cut them into quarters (in triangles) and then arrange them in the dish, slightly overlapping each other.
- Lightly beat the eggs, milk, cream, caster sugar, vanilla extract and nutmeg together to form your custard.
- Sprinkle the currants over the bread pieces, then pour the custard over the top, being sure to try to coat the bread as evenly as possible. You can also press the slices down gently into the mixture to soak it up.
- Sprinkle the bread and butter pudding with the demerera sugar then bake for 35 minutes until golden on top. Allow to sit for 10 minutes out of the oven before serving warm with cream or custard.

Notes
- Top Tip: If your bread is fresh, lay it on a baking tray and pop it in the oven while it heats up for 5 minutes. This will dry it out a little and help it absorb the custard!
- Serving Suggestions: I recommend serving this bread and butter pudding warm with custard or cream. You can also eat it on its own or enjoy it cold too!
- Weighing Scales vs Cups: You can toggle this recipe card to convert the ingredients into cups. However, I always recommend using weighing scales – these are cheap to buy and much more accurate. And in gluten free baking, a tiny variation can make a huge difference!
