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.
