🧂 Ingredienti
- 12 slices White bread(stale or lightly toasted, crusts removed)
- 6 tbsp Butter(softened)
- 1 cup Golden raisins or sultanas
- 1 tsp Nutmeg(freshly grated)
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 4 count Large eggs
- 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 pint Heavy cream
- 2 tbsp Irish whiskey(optional)
👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.
💡 Consigli Professionali: A bain-marie (water bath) is recommended for even cooking. - 2
Butter one side of each slice of bread. Arrange four slices, buttered-side down, in the bottom of the prepared dish. Sprinkle with half the raisins, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
- 3
Layer with another four slices of bread, buttered-side down, and sprinkle with the remaining raisins, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Top with the final four slices of bread, buttered-side down.

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, milk, and heavy cream until well combined. If using, stir in the Irish whiskey.
- 5
Pour the egg mixture slowly and evenly over the bread, ensuring all pieces are soaked. Gently press down on the bread to help it absorb the liquid. Let stand for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight in the refrigerator) to allow the bread to soak.
- 6
Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan. Carefully pour hot water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the pudding is puffed, golden brown, and set in the center.

Let cool slightly before serving warm. It can be served with whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
💡 Consigli Professionali
- ✓Using slightly stale bread helps it absorb the custard without becoming too mushy.
- ✓Don't skip the soaking time; it's crucial for the pudding's texture.
- ✓A splash of Irish whiskey adds a lovely depth of flavor, but it can be omitted for an alcohol-free version.
