Bon Appetit

It's a classic English dessert, very simple to make. If you follow the recipe carefully for first time, you can't go wrong and next time you will be able to make it blind folded (don't try it)!

Bread:

• Good quality white bread medium 12 slices
• Crust off
• Butter the slices, cut each slice into 2 triangles

Custard:

• 600ml double cream (or any cream) + 1cup milk > Bring to boil in Microwave (10 min) 
• Add vanilla 1tsp + Salt. 1/2 tsp

Finished dish

• Mix 8 egg yolks + 1 cup sugar in a separate large bowl

• Pour hot milk on egg-sugar mix slowly as you whisk

• Butter the dish
• Layer bread + sultanas (1/2c)
• Pour  the custard over bread 
• Press the bread down and leave to let the bread soak for 1 hour
• Cover lightly with a tin foil 

Water bath: Place the dish inside a larger dish or baking tray, fill the tray with hot water up to half the height of the inner dish.

Using a blow torch

Preheated Oven:180c for 20mins. 

Bing it out and let cool and then chill in fridge.

Caramel Crust: Just before serving, spread generous amount of sugar (caster sugar will melt quickly) on top and melt with a blowtorch or under grill for few minutes until sugar is melted.
