We love our desserts here on Rainy Day Mum and like to make them a little more festive this time of year. This Christmas Bread and Butter Pudding recipe is based on a classic or traditional Bread and Butter Pudding but because of the richness of the eggnog and sugars we aren't buttering the bread instead just adding it at the end for a little extra flavour! So here we go our Christmas Bread and Butter Pudding recipe for you and to enjoy this holiday season.
Bread and Butter Pudding
This is one of our favourite desserts for family meals. It's easy to throw together and like our Chocolate Bread and Butter Pudding, you can make it a little special or different by adding a few extra ingredients.
This Festive Christmas Eggnog version of the traditional dessert contains one of my favourite ingredients available this time of the year cranberries! Scroll down to the end to find more cranberry recipes to make for Christmas treats for the family.
