In the eggless version, we replace eggs with ingredients like cornstarch, custard powder, or condensed milk. The texture remains soft and creamy, but it's slightly less rich than the egg-based version. It's perfect for those with allergies or following a vegetarian or egg-free diet.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>How do I prevent the pudding from drying out?<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To keep your eggless bread pudding moist:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t overbake; remove it once it\u2019s just set in the center.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let the bread soak in the custard mixture for 10\u201315 minutes before baking.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cover the dish with foil if the top is browning too quickly.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bread and butter pudding is one of the most comforting and nostalgic desserts, perfect for using up leftover bread and<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":160,"featured_media":19989,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[742],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19987","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blogs"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/calindairy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19987","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/calindairy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/calindairy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calindairy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/160"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calindairy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19987"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/calindairy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19987\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20344,"href":"https:\/\/calindairy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19987\/revisions\/20344"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calindairy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19989"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/calindairy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19987"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calindairy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19987"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calindairy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19987"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
