Bread n Butter Pudding

To make this Bread n Butter Pudding..

Ingredients - for a small baking dish
1 cup of Fresh Milk
1 cup of whipping cream
vanilla essence
5 egg yolks
a little more than 1/2cup of sugar
Butter
Raisin - your choice
Any left over bread - white, baguette, raisin etc

Directions
Combine milk and whip cream in to saucepan. Add in vanilla essence to your preference. Bring to a simmer. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks together with sugar in a big bowl. Then gradually whisk in the hot milk mixture into the yolk mixture. Place the custard aside.

Butter a glass baking dish - i got one from NTUC the smallest one. For $9.90
Slice the bread(s) first to slices in any way.Then spread both sides of all the bread with butter. Arrange the bread slices on the bottom the dish , trimming to fit. Sprinkle with raisin. I used raisin bread for the lowest layer..so i didn't add anymore extra raisins. Then i used baguette - mine was like there for a week. So it was practically as hard as rock..but trust me..it can still be eaten. The top bread can be placed in any way you desire. If using normal white bread. Some recipes say to discard the crusts, but there's really no need for it. After you've layered to desired, then you can pour in the custard slowly..as it might spill. Don't feel it to the very brim as it will rise a little durin baking. Let it stand for approximately 20-30 mins for the custard to be absorbed.

Preheat the oven to 175 degrees.

Bake pudding for around 20 mins. (After this, i covered mine with aluminium foil to prevent buring and cooked for another 10 mins - your choice)

I also made extra custard sauce to go with the final product. Using also milk and whip cream with a little water, vanilla essence and sugar.

Serve this when the pudding is warm..around 10 mins after taking it out of the oven. ( Mine was exposed to the air for approximately 30 minutes while the lasagne cooked and then placed into the oven again for 5 minutes just after the lasagne was taken out and the power was not on, but it was still hot.)

Serve as dessert and Enjoy!!

P.S. There's no intermediate pictures for this..i forgot..Sorry.. =)
