AD | “I do know the rules that govern a bread-and-butter pudding, but this obeys none of them – and unrepentantly. This is the bread-and-butter pudding of my early childhood, the one I ate at my granny’s: soft, squidgy, and straightaway! So here the bread is white sliced, and used straight out of the pack, though if you do have stale bread, of course use that; the custard requires no cream; the steeping lasts no more than 10 minutes; and – stay with me here – the bread is sandwiched not with butter but triangles of Laughing Cow. When I was a child, Laughing Cow – which then went only by its French name, La Vache Qui Rit – was the treatiest of treats. I do concede, however, that these sandwiches don’t sound as if they belong in a bread-and-butter pudding, but I promise you that any doubts you have will be dispelled by the first melting mouthful, giving just the mildest hint of cheesecakey softness at its centre.”
