Blueberry Pancake Bread Pudding

Pancake Bread Pudding, I mean could this title be any sexier? The lightbulb moment for this recipe pinged in my head in the final hour of work on Friday. I was day dreaming about pancakes, as I do around this time every year in my excitement for Shrove Tuesday, thinking how can I change up Pancake Day this year?

I wanted to give it a bit of a twist and suddenly bread and butter pudding just appeared in my head. Pancake Bread Pudding.

Whenever I have a lightbulb moment like this I immediately turn to google to check if I am onto something, or if I’ve simply just missed the memo completely. While the genius was there in my head, sadly I haven’t hit the jackpot and won’t be patenting the idea as it does in fact exist. Some call it a Pancake Casserole, others also go by the name Pancake Bread Pudding either way it’s the same concept with various different flavours.

My favourite pancakes are blueberry and lemon so obviously this was my flavour combination of choice. I can’t begin to tell you how excited I was making it. I had Send my on my way by Rusted Roots (aka the Matilda pancake song) on full blast in joy. The 2 hour wait for the cinnamon and honey egg mixture to soak was torture but I can promise it is well worth the wait.

    Wonderful blog! Do you have any suggestions for aspiring writers?
    I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything.

    Would you advise starting with a free platform
    like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are
    so many choices out there that I’m completely confused
    .. Any suggestions? Appreciate it!

    Howdy! Do you know if they make any plugins to safeguard against hackers?
    I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard
    on. Any tips?

    One thing is always that one of the most prevalent incentives for making use of your card is a cash-back and also rebate supply. Generally, you will get 1-5 back with various expenses. Depending on the credit cards, you may get 1 returning on most buying, and 5 back on expenditures made in convenience stores, gas stations, grocery stores as well as ‘member merchants’.
