Spiced Bread Pudding with Caramel




Bread pudding is one of our all time favourite desserts at home .After our sunday lunch amma would disappear into the kitchen and within half an hour she will be back with some yummy steamed bread pudding.But for me steaming is one messy task.So i was happy when one of my friends gave me the recipe for baking a bread pudding.i just spiced them up with a little nutmeg and cinnamon.


For the Pudding-
Condensed Milk-1 can
Milk-2 can(use the same condensed Milk can for the measurement )
Egg-3Nos
Bread-3 slices(Trim the edges of the bread and cut them into small cubes)
Vanilla Essence-1 teaspoon
Nutmeg,Cinnamon-a pinch

To caramelise-
Sugar-4 Tablespoon
Water-3Tablespoon

1.Preheat the oven to 375deg.
2.Heat a dry sauce pan.Put 3-4 tablespoons of sugar and stir slightly to rest in an even layer on the bottom of the pan.Turn the heat to medium.Once the sugar turns really brown pour the water and stir the mixture until it reaches a boil.Swirl the pan to keep the syrup moving until it turns to amber brown.Pour the caramel into the baking dish and allow it to set for a 5-10 mts.
3.Once the caramel is set break the bread into small cubes and spread over the baking dish.
4.In a Mixer combine Milk,egg,condensed milk, vanilla essence,cinnamon and nutmeg.Blend for a few minutes.Pour them over the bread and slightly push them with a fork until the bread is covered and soaking up the egg mixture.
5.Bake in thee preheated oven for 40 mts or until the top springs back when lightly tapped.
To serve,place a plate over the baking dish,hold firmly in place and turn over gently,caramel side up!
You can make this Pudding without Caramel too.
Serve it warm or cold.
