    Indeed. I'm talking about homemade bread. 
    I made these yesterday 
     
    Will they do?

    Yum. Send me the crusts if you don't want them @Dovefromabove
    In London. Keen but lazy.
  • It’ll have to be the wholemeal loaf @B3 … all except one roll was eaten with sausages and fried onions last night … the one that’s left will be filled with grilled freerange bacon in about 90 minutes … mine … all mine. 🤤

  • Oh yum!
    How satisfying to make a batch of bread like that. Eat while still warm with plenty of proper butter.
    I made a bread and butter pudding yesterday. For a change, I used sultanas, grated orange zest, cinnamon, and brown sugar in the layers. I had a chef's taster while it was still warm and it was really lovely.

    I make bread and butter pudding using sliced Waitrose hot cross buns and add a little extra glace citrus peel. Somehow the spicing in those buns makes for an easy and perfect pud.

    I might have to make one now....

  • Bread and butter pudding made with Brioche and marmalade 🤤

  • I have seen Bread and Butter pudding made on TV using brioche rolls or croissants but it doesn't seem quite right to me. It needs to be stale "proper" white bread, not the synthetic foam sold as bread in most supermarkets, spread with "proper" butter, not the "one molecule away from petroleum" synthetic stuff sold as margarine or butter.
    Enjoy your pudding, I am enjoying mine.
  • Oh yes proper butter … absolutely… but give brioche and marmalade a try … just the once … 😃

    I make it like @Joyce Goldenlily but tried it last year with marmalade as I didn't have an orange and it was really good. Cinnamon is essential.

    So far I seem to be the only one here who likes a really good slosh of full cream milk in my tea. Yorkshire tea bag in a mug.

    Full cream milk in tea - yuck🤢

    Just come back from Croatia and the only milk I could find was either UHT (double yuck) or fresh full cream. Spent 2 weeks thinking the tea just tasted off. As soon as we found some semi-skimmed the tea was back to normal🙂
