I originally wanted to make plain scones for my little Isolation VE Day Street Party tea, but couldn't get any clotted cream (and I really fancied scones with strawberry jam and clotted cream). I finally got some cream on my shopping delivery this week, so yesterday I made scones. I can report they were scrumptious - warm from the oven!
I also had some bread crusts saved up in the freezer with a view to making a bread pudding, which I haven't had for ages. So whilst the oven was on I made the bread pudding too, having defrosted the crusts and soaked them in water overnight. As you can see it made a huge pudding. It is a recipe that has been handed down through the family - originally just sort of word of mouth, although I have now written down vague instructions on how to make it. My mum used to make it and so did my Nana (my dad's mum) and I call it Nana's Old Fashioned Bread Pudding as I am sure it was her recipe originally. It is very moist and has grated carrot and apple in it.

I eat it on its own, but you could have it with custard, or even cream (especially clotted cream if you want to be indulgent!
