Dont understand this recipe. Ex spoon custard over breaf, what custard.
#3 I am totally confused. Please explain
We’re sorry the wording was confusing! We’ve updated it to more accurately reflect the fact that the egg/cream mixture was not *yet* custard (it becomes custard when cooked).
Do you have crockpot instructions?
We did not test this recipe in a crock pot, and wouldn’t necessarily recommend using one for this bread pudding.
