I like Hugh Fearnly Whittingstalls - it's in his River cottage year book (although I rarely bother with fruit in mine) I can get the recipe when it gets dark, if you need it, but I'm enjoying the swallows just now!

Nice white bread, crusts on, thickly buttered and cut into triangles.

Eggs, milk and a little cream if you're posh mixed into a nice custard.

layer bread in dish sprinkling caster sugar over each layer as you go. pour over custard until it comes up three quarters of the mix. Squish in bread, cover and leave to soak whilst oven pre heats.

cook at 180 until browned and risen.

I never bother with measurements when making this

On to the fruit debate!

Needs a few nice plump raisins or sultanas - but never on the top as they catch.

Do you soak them first? I do like the plum or damson version

This looks pretty good: https://www.virginmedia.com/homefamily/fooddrink/howto/gary-rhodes-bread-and-butter-pudding.php I have not tried it, but it is very similar to a recipe I used to use.

No - just sprinkle them on.

Made with panetone is good, and Sean sometimes makes it with McVitie's ginger cake and stem ginger, which make a nice change, but I like the basic version best.
