Whenever I(we) make sandwiches, I(we) cut off every sides of the bread. I cannot stand sandwiches with the brown edges still intact. But at the same time, i don’t like the sides to be thrown into the dust bin…so what do you do with them?? Sometimes, I powder them to make bread crumbs and while thinking to do something different with them…. there came this dessert idea…So next time you make sandwiches, pls don’t throw away those sides…do save them in the refrigerator to come up with this tasty pudding!!
