White Ladies Pudding - Nun's Bread and Butter Pudding image

The Dominican nuns of Worcestershire, in England, created a tasty bread pudding that became known as 'White Ladies Pudding' due to the familiar white habits of the Order. The recipe is well worth reviving and is an unusual variation on the more usual fruited bread and butter pudding. I found this recipe on a British sugar website, and have enjoyed making it so much, that I thought I would share the recipe with all of you - this is my slightly amended recipe based on the original.
