Buttermilk Bread Pudding
Bread pudding is the perfect treat for a cozy evening. Our Saco Pantry Bread Pudding starts out with tender cubes of challah bread and uses Saco Pantry Cultured Buttermilk blend for a rich, creamy texture and light, moist texture. It’s delicious with seasonal fresh fruit and whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon and a drizzle of homemade icing.
