Bread and Butter Pudding
The traditional British pudding has had a delicious facelift in this recipe contributed by Robyn from Mrs D plus 3. Robyn is British and lives in Sydney, Australia. This version uses the coconut versions of milk, cream and sugar, which means you can easily convert it to being dairy free if you choose to use a dairy-free spread in lieu of butter. The traditional version has sultanas scattered over the top, so feel free to add them if you wish!
