Simple Bread Pudding :


Ingredients :

6 to 8 slices bread with side crusts removed  (cut the slice into two)
Orange marmalade or any jam- Few spoonfuls
Butter (unsalted) - few teaspoons
Apples - Big 1 peeled, cored and sliced fine
Custard powder (Vanilla) - 2 tablespoons
Sugar - 2 tablespoons
Milk (at room temperature) - 2 1/2 cups

Method :

Take half cup of milk and dissolve the custard powder and sugar without lumps. Heat the balance milk and when the milk starts boiling , add the custrd powder mixture and reduce the heat and go on stirring till it thickens. Remove from fire and keep aside.
Take the bread slices and spread butter on half the slices and jam on the balance slices. Take a glass tray or rectangular dish. Tray should be atleast 1 1/2 inches deep. Arrange the buttered slices with buttered surface up. arrange the sliced apples on the slices and cover with the balance slices with jam side facing down. Pouer the custard evenly over the bread and bake in microwave for 5 to 6 minutes. Serve warm.

I have noticed that if you keep in fridge the bread hardens and so better keep out if you want it cool also.

Try and let me know!!!!
