Leftover Panettone Bread and Butter Pudding

[glinda]

I came across this recipe last week when I was looking for recipes for using up leftovers, the BBC food website has a whole exciting section on using up Xmas leftovers, that I'm unlikely to use, but are fun to browse and make me hungry. I'd inexplicably ended up with three different types of cream alongside more cheese than was perhaps reasonable, so I was looking for a nicely decadent vegetable bake, which I don't think I actually found in the end. I came across Leftover Panettone Bread and Butter Pudding and bookmarked it as I did in fact have a panettone that was bigger than it needed to be. (It was on special offer, I can't resist a bargain.)

As I had the oven on anyway this evening, I decided today was the day to make this recipe before both cream and panettone had expired/gone stale on me. It was refreshingly quick and straight forward to make, which is not often the case with baked puddings. I made a few tweaks to the recipe, as I did not have a full panettone left, I scaled down the cream, sugar and eggs - ie I didn't bother with the extra egg yolk. Also because it was a chocolate chip panettone I didn't use fruit preserve, I just buttered the slices, however about half-way through the pour overs, I liberally sprinkled the whole thing with nutmeg. My scaled down version is probably enough to serve four rather than six, as long as I can resist going back for seconds...

Sounds like it was a success?!

Very much so, sometimes making these kinds of things go disasterously wrong for me, but I'd absolutely make this one again.

Excellent outcome :)

Sounds delish.

It was! I recommend it!

Someone gave one of my sisters a panettone. We were going to make a bread and butter pudding but...haven't gotten around to it. Probably should by the end of January. That, or the chooks will get very lucky!

(And did you resist the seconds? One must ask!)

I usually just get a small one, but obviously the big ones weren't selling as well this year, so it was cheaper to get one of those and it was too much panettone for me. I do recommend making bread and butter pudding with it! (Lucky chooks if you don't!)

(I did, though I ended up eating a 'generous' portion for lunch as I was making soup and the soup wasn't ready yet...)
