Berry Bread Pudding

Puddings and Sweet Deserts

Now usually a Bread-and-butter pudding or Bread Pudding baked over a layer of fruit such as raspberries or strawberries or with the berries mixed-in.

Formerly a wide range of steamed puddings which would now be made with suet paste were made using breadcrumbs, such as Military Pudding or Bachelor's Pudding
