🥘 Ingredients

9 thin slices of bread and butter, 1-1/2 pint of milk, 4 eggs, sugar to taste, 1/4 lb. of currants, flavouring of vanilla, grated lemon-peel or nutmeg.

👨‍🍳 Method

Cut 9 slices of bread and butter not very thick, and put them into a pie-dish, with currants between each layer and on the top. Sweeten and flavour the milk, either by infusing a little lemon-peel in it, or by adding a few drops of essence of vanilla; well whisk the eggs, and stir these to the milk. _Strain_ this over the bread and butter, and bake in a moderate oven for 1 hour, or rather longer. This pudding may be very much enriched by adding cream, candied peel, or more eggs than stated above. It should not be turned out, but sent to table in the pie-dish, and is better for being made about 2 hours before it is baked.

📜 From Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management (1861). Public domain.

Old-fashioned cooking done right

I tried this Baked Bread-And-Butter Pudding from Mrs. Beeton's book this week, and I must say, it was a journey back in time that delighted my taste buds. The method was straightforward, but the surprise came from the lemon peel. I've often used vanilla in my puddings, but the lemon peel added a bright, subtle zest that elevated the dish. It was a delightful twist on a classic, and I found myself savoring each bite, appreciating the simplicity and elegance of the flavors. This recipe is perfect for the weeknight cook who wants to impress without spending hours in the kitchen. The prep work is minimal, and the baking time allows for a relaxing evening. I served it straight from the pie dish, as instructed, and it was a hit. The bread was soft, the currants plump, and the custard just set — a comforting end to a long day. I recommend giving this a try, especially if you have a sweet tooth and a penchant for nostalgia.
