Bread Pudding

My lovely SIL has made this yummy pudding on many good occasions. Now that I could enjoy it every time she makes it made me lazy to try it. She had given me the recipe 2 years back and still didn't feel like making it as I enjoy her preparations a lot..

Today I just wondered why not try it. I have not added any pudding on my blog and I know hers is a fool proof recipe. So here it is..a simple and tasty pudding. My kids just gobbled it down :)

INGREDIENTS

Recipe Source - Nishna (My Sis in law)

Milk                    500 ml

Eggs                   3

Sugar                 10 Tbsp

Butter                 1 tbsp (at room temp)

Bread                 7-8 slices

Vanilla Essence  1 teaspoon

METHOD

Boil the milk and let it cool to room temperature.

To caramelize sugar, add 3 tablespoons sugar into the pudding container. Add a few drops of water and heat it till the sugar turns brown. Spread on the base of the container. Keep it aside

Whip the eggs in a mixer/blender.

Add the sugar and blend again.

Strain and pour the milk into this egg sugar mixture.

Remove the crust of the bread and crumble them.

Keep a cooker with water and a ring. Let the water boil on low flame.

Meanwhile add vanilla essence to the egg- sugar-milk mixture and mix well.

Add butter and warm the mixture on low heat till the butter melts.

Remove from heat and add the bread. It should soak well. Stir well and make it a paste.

Pour this mixture into the caramelized sugar container.

Cover the container with foil.

Place this container on the ring and close the cooker lid. Do not place the weight.

Cook on high flame for 10 minutes, medium 10 minutes and last 1 minute on high flame.

Remove from heat. 

Remove the container from the cooker and refrigerate the pudding.

Invert when cold and serve.
