Buxton Pudding consists of a shortcrust pastry base, supporting a layer of jam with a spongecake topping whose ingredients include breadcrumbs! Buxton Pudding unsurprisingly owes its name to the quaint spa town of Buxton, located in the county of Derbyshire in the East Midlands, England. The town of Bakewell is also located in Derbyshire, just over ten miles away from Buxton, and has its own pudding to rival Buxton Pudding. A Bakewell Pudding consists of a puff pastry case layered with jam and topped with an egg and almond sort of sponge on top. You can see the similarities! We think you should give Buxton Pudding a try!
