Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1/2 lb. stale bread (cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup white sugar (reduce a bit if bread is quite sweet or glazed already)
  • 3/4 cup whipping cream (can use a lower-fat cream or combination of creams)
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • Optional: a few raisins or a bit of dried fruit*, if you like
  • Icing/confectioners sugar (for dusting)

Instruction

  • Place cubed bread into a large bowl and toss with cinnamon. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, cream and milk. Pour over the bread cubes. Stir in raisins or dried fruit, if using. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
  • Preheat oven 325 F. (160 C.) Line a 6-cup muffin tin with paper liners (or generously grease with butter).
  • Scoop a heaping 1/2 cup of the pudding mixture into each of the 6 muffin cups (each one should be nicely mounded. Top off each muffin cup with any remaining liquid.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, rotating the muffin tin 180 degrees about half-way through baking. Muffins should be lightly golden brown on top. Dust with confectioners' sugar while they're still warm.
