Pudding recipe questions
Can you make bread pudding ahead of time?
Yes, assemble bread pudding up to 24 hours ahead, cover tightly with cling film, and refrigerate unbaked. Remove 30 minutes before baking to bring to room temperature. Alternatively, bake completely, cool, cover, and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat portions in the microwave or oven.
How do you prevent custard puddings from curdling?
Use gentle, even heat and avoid high temperatures. Bake custard-based puddings like crème caramel in a water bath (bain-marie) to insulate from direct heat. Stir continuously when cooking on the hob, remove from heat just before fully set, and never let the mixture boil.
What's the difference between bread pudding and summer pudding?
Bread pudding is a baked dessert using stale bread soaked in a custard mixture with eggs and milk. Summer pudding is an unbaked British dessert where bread lines a basin, filled with macerated summer berries and their juices, then chilled until the bread absorbs the fruit.
