Tips, food safety & substitutions
Nutrition figures are estimates only. Bake gently so the pudding stays soft and moist. Allergens: egg, wheat (bread), milk (milk, butter). Pakistani alternative: use soft local bread and doodh with desi ghee. Serve warm and fresh; do not use honey as a sweetener for children under 1 year (not relevant here, but noted for family cooking). Refrigerate leftovers the same day.
