Traditional bread and butter pudding is a thing of joy. It’s an old-fashioned recipe, so I’ve given it a modern update by adding white chocolate and fresh raspberries. Don’t be afraid to leave it in the oven for a few minutes longer so it takes on a bit of dark colour, as that’s where the flavour comes in.

WHITE CHOCOLATE AND RASPBERRY BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING

75g butter, plus extra to grease the dish
8 slices white bread, crusts removed
125g raspberries
100g white chocolate chips
225ml whole milk
225ml double cream
1 vanilla pod, split and seeds scraped out
3 large eggs
25g caster sugar

TO FINISH

3 tbsp apricot jam
25g icing sugar

Heat your oven to 180°C/Fan 160°C/Gas 4. Grease a 1 litre baking dish.
