Have you bought your panettone yet? The supermarkets, delis and other foodie shops are stocking them for Christmas, so now is the time to stock up on a few of these delicately flavoured breads - so you can make the most wondrous bread and butter puddings next winter (though it's truly so cold today, I'm tempted to make one now). What a smug pleasure, laying down seasonal stores for future months.
Be sure to slice them up before you stash them away in your freezer, a size that fits your baking dishes. But - oops! Look, one slice accidentally fell out and got itself buttered, demanding to be eaten now! How could I refuse?
Snap… mine is already in the freezer, minus a slice (or two!).
ReplyDeleteyay, another forward thinker! It is hard to resist that sweet aroma and those plump raisins...
DeleteThese look delicious e. In the past I have not been a huge fan of bread and butter pudding but made with panettone it could be a whole new experience! Have a great week :)
ReplyDeletejane, i never use normal bread for B&B pudding! panettone is so light and soaks up the custard beautifully. the packets had recipes for trifle and custardy french toast, too. mm-mmm!
DeleteHaha! "ACCIDENTLY" fell out...why, of course!
ReplyDeleteCan't believe I haven't bought mine yet.
Now I am dreaming of that bread and butter pudding.
SB, don't good italian families make their own panettone? please don't spoil that fantasy! :-)
DeleteI have never eaten panettone before, the bread looks very buttery and full of fruit which I am sure would make a great bread and butter pudding.
ReplyDeleteit's a very light, slightly sweet bread, lizzie, and it is lovely to have a slice (or two) while cutting it up! thick slabs of butter mandatory :-)
Deletebut yes, it does make the best puddings - it soaks up custard wonderfully.
What a great idea - I'll try and remember for next pre-Christmas period.
ReplyDeleteunless you have a good italian deli that perhaps still has some leftover from this christmas! worth a hunt perhaps.
