Buttered bread layered with custard and raisins, the thrifty British classic. Silky and spoonable, with a clean, comforting sweetness. Lovely with a few berries or a thin biscuit on the side.

Ingredients

Butter3 tbsp
Salta pinch
Milk2 cups
Sugar1/3 cup
Vanilla Extract1 tsp
Bread4 slices
Egg Yolk1 cup, chopped

Optional extras

Golden Raisins2 tbsp

Instructions

1
Chill your bowls and whisk if you are working with cream — cold cream whips better.
2
Scald the milk with the butter — small bubbles at the edge, never a rolling boil.
3
Combine the bread with the sugar; stream in the hot milk slowly so nothing curdles.
4
Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture coats the back of a spoon.
5
Chill until fully set — overnight is best — and finish with a scatter of egg yolk.

Chef's tip

Resting a custard or pudding overnight deepens the flavour and sets a cleaner slice.
