Ingredients
Bread Pudding
- 3 cups (750 ml) fresh full cream milk
- 1 cup (250 ml) fresh cream
- 5 T (75 ml) sugar
- 1 large cinnamon stick
- 5 cm piece of lemon peel
- 2 extra large eggs, beaten
- ¾ French loaf, cut into 2 cm thick slices
Almond Topping
- ½ cup (50 g) flaked almonds
- ¼ cup (60 ml) sugar
- ½ t (2,5 ml) cinnamon
Method
In a heavy bottomed sauce pan, heat the milk and cream
together with the sugar, cinnamon stick and lemon peel. Remove from heat just
before reaching boiling point, allow to cool, covered, before removing the
cinnamon and lemon peel. Beat the eggs and flavoured milk together.
Place the bread in a snug single layer in a buttered
ovenproof dish. Pour the milk mixture over. Cover and leave to soak for a few
hours or overnight.
Adjust oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven
to 180°C.
Almond Topping
Mix together the flaked almonds, sugar and cinnamon, and
sprinkle over the bread pudding.
Bake for 30 minutes until golden and fluffy. Very good
served with Orange Ice Cream.
Ina's Tip
It is better to pre-prepare this dessert the day before and
allow the bread to absorb as much of the milk as possible while standing
overnight, covered, in the fridge.
