Penguin's Comments

This is the simplest preparation I've ever done for the best tasting dessert. It's a really comforting, traditional recipe and needed no accompaniment. It disappeared very quickly!

Ingredients


8 slices of white bread or broetchen (day old bread works really well)
Butter for bread and greasing
2 eggs
12fl oz milk
3fl oz cream
2 handfuls of raisins
Cinnamon and nutmeg
1 oz sugar

Recipe

1. Slice the bread and butter it one one side (BBC says cut off the crusts and slice in to triangles but that's too posh and faffy for me!)
2. Arrange the slices of bread in a dish buttered side up and sprinkle with cinnamon and raisins. Continue until all the bread is used up.
3. Heat the cream and milk until just before boiling
4. Whisk eggs and sugar until pale/combined and add to cream and milk then mix
5. Strain the egg/milk/cream mixture and cover the bread with it
6. Sprinkle with sugar and nutmeg
7. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until golden
