scone and butter pudding

7 June 2012 by Dominic Franks


…one of the many delights of throwing a tea party are the left-overs… well, part delight.. part danger-zone because as anyone knows, having an excess of cake in the house can be risky business waist-line wise….

… we threw a very impromptu Jubilee tea party on Monday with a heck of a lot of cake, tea and of course, champagne and I asked friends to bring stuff too… lovely Elaine brought her ‘award-winning’ scones and you can read all about our little corner of sunshine and cake here on her brilliant blog… there are even a couple of clandestine pictures of my kitchen… well worth the visit…

… now back to Elaine’s scones… award winning they may be but she did make a few dozen too many and whilst we endeavoured bravely to scoff the lot my mind started to form a plan before anyone managed to ask for some to take home… you see, two day-old scones make the most wonderful bread substitute for a bread and butter pudding… a super-quick egg custard whisk later and you have a rather marvellous and a little naughty pudding…

scone and butter pudding
as many old scones as you fancy – I had 6 small scones
3 eggs
300ml milk
50ml single cream
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons caster sugar
a handful of sultanas
butter

– pre-heat the oven to 180C

– take your scones, slice them in half or thirds, depending on depth and generously butter each side

– place them into an oven-dish and sprinkle with sultanas

– make the custard by combining the milk, cream, sugar and egg and whisking it into submission

– pour it all over the scones and bake for 20-30 mins

eat and of course, enjoy!

    Looks good comfort food!

    I like to toast slices of leftover scone – lovely for breakfast with butter and honey πŸ˜‰

    holy comfort food! What I wouldn't give for a big bowl of this right now…

    This looks so soft and creamy, I love it!
    I would maybe top each portion with a teaspoon of honey, I think it would make it even more delicious πŸ™‚

    This is printing out! We love scones and bread pudding but never the two have met–until now!

    Best,

    I'm usually not a fan of bread pudding, but if you put this in front of me, I think I just might consume the entire thing! Looks wonderful!

    I'm not keen on bread and butter pudding…but scone and butter pudding sounds perfect…I'm sure I'd love.

    ooh lovely! Elaine's blog is great too – of course I was having a nosey of course! I see The Viking has a name!

    Dom I am blushing – you are very kind. I may have to bake some scones so that I can make this pud. What am I saying? Of course I shall make more scones, I need the practice – big competition ahead…
    We had a fabulous time; you and The Viking were wonderful hosts. Thank you. xx

    I'm forever making new varieties of scones, so my freezer tends to bulge with all the leftovers. This is brilliant!

    Wow the scones sound fantastic, really, how did you all even have any leftover for this pudding! I've had mainly hits and misses with bread and butter pudding, the hits were so good I feel it might be the best pudding I've ever had, the misses were so horribly obviously leftovers I felt I never wanted it again. I'll give your recipe a try, albeit without the fabulous award winning scones!

    What a perfect pud for such a (wintery!) summer's day.

    What a wonderful recipe to use up the left over scones. I love raisin and cinnamon bread so this is right up my alley taste wise. Eggs and cream makes everything better.

    That's such a great idea! Though I doubt there'd be any scones left with me around

    Wow, I love bread and butter pudding and this sounds like a brilliant alternative. Well invented !!

    I love bread and butter pudding but this is a whole new level!! Great idea πŸ™‚

    Leftover scones? I have never heard of such things! Would it be a bad thing to make some scones especially in order to make this? Or could you send me some?

  21. Magnolia Verandah says

    All our left overs go in the freezer (whether they freeze well or not!). Never thought of making scone and butter pudding with them what a good idea. Still we very rarely have left over scones. Mind you we are still eating birthday cake from April, cut up and wrapped individually ready to pop in the lunch boxes for work!
    Must say impressed with the new photo Dom!

    What a beautiful blog!

    I only discovered it today and followed, just had a good old peruse and bookmarked a number of recipes. The 10 hour honey and orange chicken thighs are definitely going to be made next week! I'll put them on my blog and do a link back to yours. I'll look forward to more posts from you in the future πŸ™‚

    OMG…this may possibly be the best recipe I've ever seen. My absolute favourite thing is scones and afternoon tea…this looks amazing…and served with a dollop of clotted cream…heaven! (And maybe hell for the thighs!) πŸ˜‰

    Genius idea for a lovely nursery pudding Dom and will remember this when I have a surfeit of scones!

  25. Angela says

    Lovely. I would be willing to make the scones just to get to the pudding.

    Wonderful, wonderful, will remember this for when I'm running my tea shop!!!

    Made this but with the slices sandwiched with lashings of Strawberry Jam and topped off with a spoon of clotted cream. Will call it baked cream tea πŸ˜‰ Was delicious !!!

    This looks delicious, I will try it out. Thanks for the recipe.

    I've tried this a few times and love it! I've tried several different breads as well and it puffs up nice and fluffy. The changes I've made include skipping the cream and letting the dish soak for a while before baking. A great basic recipe I've enjoyed experimenting with. πŸ™‚
