Ingredients

  • 4- Bread slices
  • 2- Eggs
  • ½ cup- Caster sugar/White or Brown powdered sugar
  • 1½ cups- Milk
  • 1 tsp- Vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp- Nutmeg powder (optional, but recommended)
  • for greasing the pan- Butter (melted)
  • for sprinkling on top- Dried Cranberries/Raisins/Currants (use any, or a mix of theses dry fruits)

Instructions

  1. Before I start all the ingredients were at room temperature.

  2. Cut the bread slices into cubes. Use a kitchen scissor for this step, or tear the slices into cubes by using your fingers.

  3. Grease 4 ramekins, or a 6” baking pan with melted butter generously, keep aside.

  4. In a bowl whisk 2 Eggs.

  5. Add caster sugar, vanilla extract, nutmeg powder, and milk into this, whisk well. 

  6. Add the cubed pieces of bread into the milk mixture, stir and keep aside for 15-20 minutes. The bread cubes will soak some of the milk mixture within this time. 

  7. Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.

  8. Transfer the pudding mixture to the greased pan/ramekins. Sprinkle the dry fruits on top. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the pudding pan from the oven and let it be cooled a little bit. The pudding will rise during baking, and the top would drop off after taking out from the oven, it’s a normal occurrence.  

  9. You can slice and serve the warm Pudding with a dusting of icing sugar on top. They taste great on their own as well. To fancy this dessert a scoop of whipped cream can be added on the side, followed by a drizzle of maple syrup/caramel syrup/chocolate syrup.
