This week we have a guest recipe from Mark Hix. He has delved into his extensive archive to provide us with this cracking Bread Pudding
Something to use up any leftover bread (something I rarely have in my house) and perfect for this miserable weather.
Considering it’s made of leftover bread it really does work a treat as an afternoon or morning snack – or you can posh it up a bit and serve it warm with ice cream or good old clotted cream as a dessert.
