Answer 2

Do try our family's favourite below:

Bread and Butter Pudding (English Style)

For a (22 X 28 cm) casserole or pie dish:

Ingredients:

6 slices of stale (nicht frisch) or fresh toastbread
40 g butter
2½ cups of fresh milk
3 eggs
¼ cup castor sugar (Zucker Raffinade)
1 tsp vanilla essence (liquid/flüssig)
½ cup sultanas

Method:

1. Spread each slice with butter. Trim away crusts (Kruste) and cut each slice into four small triangles (Dreieckige). In a casserole or pie dish (Auflaufform), arrange the slices of bread so that they overlap each other with sultanas (one or two) in between slices.

2. Pour milk into mixing bowl and then add sugar, vanilla essence and eggs. Whisk mixture until well mixed (note: there is no need to whisk mixture until frothy/schäumig). Pour half of mixture on slices of bread until well covered and let it soak for 10 minutes.

3. Whisk the balance of mixture again and add in balance of sultanas. Pour over the bread mixture in dish.

4. Place dish in a pan of boiling water. Ensure that the water is about two-thirds the level of dish.

5. Bake in a moderately slow oven (150 - 160ºC) for 50 - 60 minutes or until custard is set. This pudding can be eaten warm or cold. For storage, the pudding must be kept in the fridge.
