Pwdin Mynwy (Monmouth Pudding) is a traditional Welsh dessert that is believed to date back to the 1700s. The dish was named after the market town of Monmouth, located in southeast Wales. It is made by combining breadcrumbs with warm milk, sugar, and raspberry jam, and then baking it in the oven until golden brown.
