Bread and Butter Pudding

🔥 Prep

• Measure out 50 g butter and keep at room temperature.
• Take the 6 slices of bread and, if desired, trim the crusts.
• Measure 300 ml milk and 100 ml cream into a measuring jug.
• Crack 2 eggs into a small bowl.
• Measure 50 g sugar into a separate bowl.

🔥 Cook

• 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
• 2. Butter a baking dish with 10 g of the butter.
• 3. Arrange the prepared bread pieces in the dish, overlapping slightly.
• 4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 2 eggs, 50 g sugar, 300 ml milk, and 100 ml cream until smooth.
• 5. Pour the custard over the bread, pressing lightly to ensure it soaks, and let stand for 10 minutes.
• 6. Dot the surface with the remaining 40 g of butter, cut into small pieces.
• 7. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden and the custard is set.
• 8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

🔥 Serve

• Serve warm, optionally dusted with a little extra sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup.
• Accompany with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
• Pair with a cup of tea or coffee for a classic English dessert experience.
