vegan bread and butter pudding

This recipe for Bread and Butter Pudding (The Veg Space) is vegan-friendly, and a great way to use up leftover bread. The ingredients (including raisins) are soaked in vegan custard, then topped with demerara sugar. You can even soak dried fruits in sherry or brandy (or fruit juice for a no-alcohol version).

Keep fresh dough away, dried fruits & spices away from pets. Before cooking, read up on food safety for people & pets.

Never feed stale, crusty or mouldy bread/crackers to garden birds or wildfowl (choking hazards). Also don’t feed buttered bread, as fat can smear on feathers, affecting waterproofing/insulation.

Why So Much Bread Waste?

This is an example of the kind of recipe our parents and grandparents made, back in the day. How have we gone from a country that used to use up leftover ingredients to make tasty puddings like this, to having bread as one of the main food waste items?

A lot of this is due to bread brands and supermarkets selling giant loaves, that don’t last long enough for small-person households. If you can, seek out local bakers, to buy tiny loaves or even rolls, to help avoid bread waste.
