Traditional English Bread
Pudding
- 8 slices (about 1-inch thick) day old
home-style white bread
2 ounces (about 1/2 cup) sultanas (raisins)
Grated rind of one lemon
2 large eggs
3 level tablespoons caster (granulated) sugar, divided use
1 pint (2 cups) vanilla-flavoured milk*
- Remove crusts and reserve for another
use, if desired. Cut bread into 1-inch cubes. Place in lightly-buttered
overproof dish, with alternate layers of sultanas mixed with
the grated lemon rind.
- Beat eggs lightly with 2 tablespoons of
sugar and the milk. Pour custard over bread cube mixture; sprinkle
remaining sugar over the top.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350*F (175*C)
for about 30 minutes. Let cool slightly and enjoy! With this
English-style dessert you do not need any other sauce.
Makes 4 servings.
* Or mix 1 to 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
with plain milk.
