Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Small ramekin
  • Knife

Ingredients
  

  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup stale bread 2 slices

Optional

  • Cashews, raisins

Garnish

  • Powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180℃ and butter a ramekin dish. Cut up the pieces of bread and place in the ramekin, set aside.
  • In a small mixing bowl add the eggs, sugar, vanilla, cream and milk. Whisk until smooth.
  • Pour over the custard and allow the bread to soak into the custard for 5-10 mins.
  • Place on a baking tray and bake for 8-10 minutes until the top is golden and crusty.
  • You can bake this in the microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds at 30 second intervals.
  • Serve it warm. I like to dust it with a little powdered sugar but you can do cinnamon powder as well.

Notes

  • Do not over bake this pudding as it will firm up as it is in the hot ramekin.
  • A drizzle of cold cream pairs well with it and add fresh berries or sliced bananas if you have them.
