Are you familiar with making bread pudding? It’s an economical dessert to make. That’s why a lot of restaurants have it on the menu. It’s a way for restaurants to use their old bread and not have that waste. Actually, it’s preferable to use old bread rather than fresh bread. Not old like it has mold specks on it, but old as in slightly dried out. When the bread is dry it will absorb the custard better. I usually get french bread that has been discounted at the grocery store for my bread pudding. I save about 50% buying old bread. It adds up.

 

BUTTERMILK PIE BREAD PUDDING

This dessert recipe is simple to put together, and you probably have all the ingredients on hand all the time. I, basically, combined two Southern classics and put the custard of a Buttermilk pie with a Bread Pudding for this recipe.

Buttermilk Pie has a smooth, sweet, custard-like filling that consists of eggs, buttermilk, sugar, butter, flour, and lemon juice, and flavoring.

Bread pudding is a bread-based dessert made with stale bread and milk, eggs, fat, a variety of other ingredients.

This bread pudding is a basic bread pudding on the bottom then has buttermilk pie custard on top. It’s creamy with just the right amount of crust from the bread. It’s rich and decadent without being too sweet. As well, it’s budget-friendly and takes only about 45 minutes from start to finish.

This dessert is best fresh out of the oven maybe even with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

If it isn’t devoured immediately you want to store this moist cake in the refrigerator. When reheating, you could eat it cold, but I recommend heating the leftovers one slice at a time in the oven or toaster oven. This will crisp up the outside again. Although popping it in the microwave is super easy and quick, to me it changes the texture and for once, I’d rather be patient and heat it in the oven.
