Crafted from simple ingredients, including bread, milk, eggs, sugar, and spices, this bread pudding is baked to golden-brown perfection.
The extra touch of rum and plump raisins adds a hint of sweetness, making it an instant favorite.
Serves 6
-
1 lb., 2 ounces stale bread, broken into pieces
-
4 c. whole milk + more if necessary
-
¾ c. + 1 tbsp. amber rum
-
⅓ c. raisins
-
Butter, for the pan
-
½ c. sugar
-
3 eggs, beaten
-
½ tsp. ground cinnamon
-
1–2 tsp. all-purpose flour, if necessary
-
Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
- Place the bread in a large bowl and pour in the milk—the bread should be completely covered. Let soak until the bread is fully saturated and soft (about 1 hour).
- Meanwhile, warm the rum and pour it over the raisins in a bowl. Let soak until the raisins are softened and plump.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and generously grease a Pyrex bowl or loaf pan with butter.
- Roughly mash the bread in the milk using a fork, then add the sugar, eggs, and cinnamon. Drain the rum-soaked raisins and add them to the bowl. Stir until well combined. The batter should be semi-thick—neither runny nor dense. If necessary, add 1–2 teaspoons flour or a little more milk.
- Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- As soon as you remove the pudding from the oven, run a spatula or knife around the edge to release the pudding from the bowl. Let the pudding cool slightly or completely in the dish before turning it out onto a serving plate.
- Dust with confectioners’ sugar and serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
LA BONNE IDÉE
You can swap out raisins for pitted prunes or very thinly sliced apples.
