Ingredients
For Pudding
- 500 ml Milk
- 2 Bread Slices
- 2 Eggs
- 4 tbsp Sugar
For Caramel Syrup Topping
- ¼ cup Sugar
- 1 tbsp Water
Instructions
To make Caramel Syrup
- Take a saucepan and mix the sugar and water. Place it on low heat. Slowly the sugar will melt and the colour will change to amber. Do not swirl. If you think that the sugar isn't cooking uniformly, give the saucepan a gentle swirl.
- Once the sugar turns golden, turn off the heat. As it still bubbles, it will continue cooking and darkening. Pour it in your glass baking dish and swirl it around so it covers the entire base of it.
- Keep it aside and let it cool down completely.
To make the pudding
- Place another saucepan with the milk on it and allow it to simmer for a couple of minutes before removing it from heat.
- Tear the slices of bread roughly and drop them in the milk. Also, add the sugar and vanilla extract. Cover it and allow it to soak for 20-30 minutes on your kitchen counter. During this time, the bread would soften and the milk will cool down as well.
- Once the milk has cooled down enough for you to dip your finger in it, pour the entire content of the saucepan in a blender jar. Also, crack 2 whole eggs in it. Now blend it into a smooth mix.
- Pour the entire content of the jar on the prepared baking dish with caramel at its base.
- Cover the dish with clingfilm and cook it in Microwave Oven at full-power (approx 900W) for 5 minutes or till the pudding has set completely.
- Take it out. Loosen the edges with a knife and turn it upside down on a plate. Please note that the caramel would have melted so there will be liquid in the bottom of the baking dish.
- Allow it to cool down to room temperature before putting it in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Serve chilled.
