Blueberry Bread Pudding With Custard Sauce

Blueberries are so yummy, especially in this dessert! Cook time includes time for makeing sauce. The sweet dessert known as Bread pudding (not be confused with bread and butter pudding) is rather more popular in the UK than in the US, but it is hardly unknown in America, especially in the south. Bread Pudding has been around a long time. It’s been around in England since the 13th century. It has its origins as a source of food for the poorer elements of society, and was in fact called “Poor Man’s Pudding”.

Basque Cream (Natillas) Dessert Sauce

From Teresa Barrenechea in The Basque Table, this is a great sauce to dress up plain cakes or custards. This recipe accompanies her Recipe #397727 and I didn’t include it in that recipe because the amount it makes is way more than is needed and it throws off the nutritional values considerably! It is the equivalent to pouring custard, natillas (although more liquid than the firmer Santa Fe style natillas) or creme anglais.
