Bread and butter pudding with whisky sauce
Absolute decadence! This is a great family favourite but with the whisky sauce , it will become something special. The best bread to use is a white cob loaf with hard crust from the bread shop as the bread will give the pudding better texture. If not, use thick slice bread.
