Mae's Bread and Butter Pudding - Bread and butter pudding is a traditional type of British bread pudding made of buttered bread, raisins, and egg custard. An old-fashioned English bread and butter pudding that goes easy on the wallet. Day-old bread works best in this recipe. Slightly stale bread works a bit better because it doesn't soak through instantly and turn into mush. The bread can sit in the egg mixture for ten minutes or a few hours. Long soak times will allow the egg mixture to penetrate deep into the bread. Older bread will work a lot better than fresh as it will absorb the egg mixture a lot easier and faster. Thank you and good luck
