Gluten Free Bread Pudding with Buttermilk Syrup

This southern inspired gluten free bread pudding with buttermilk syrup SHOCKED my friends at our most recent dinner party. They said, "This can't be gluten free, it is so good!" It is soft, moist and only takes 10 minutes to prepare then the oven does all the hard work of baking it. With just a few ingredients you make the best classic dessert that everyone will love .
