Equipment
- medium oven proof dish
Ingredients
- half a pint full fat milk about 290ml
- 300 ml double cream
- 1 vanilla pod
- 3 medium eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 3 tablespoons caster sugar
- half a loaf of medium sliced bread I used Hovis best of both
- slightly salted butter softened plus extra for greasing
- 200 g Strawberries
- handful Flaked Almonds
Instructions
- Grease a medium ovenproof dish approximately. I used melted butter and pastry brush to paint it on.
- Butter the bread on each side. Cut the crusts off from the bread slices and cut diagonally to make triangles.
- Layer the triangles in the dish with the points upwards.
- To make the custard place the whole milk milk, cream and vanilla pod with its seeds scraped out together in a saucepan. Place on a medium heat and keep stirring as it comes up to a boil.
- Take it off the heat before it boils. Set aside to allow to cool slightly.
- In a bow whisk the eggs and extra yolk with the caster sugar.
- Slowly pour the warm milk and egg mixture over the eggs, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Scatter the strawberries in the dish. Using some between the layers.
- Remove the vanilla pod from the custard and pour the warm mix over the pudding.
- Sprinkle the flaked almonds over the top.
- Leave the custard to soak into the bread for about 10 mins.
- Heat oven to 180C (160C fan).
- Bake for 20-25 mins until golden brown. I like the top edges to be a little toastie
- Serve straight away. Keep any left overs in the fridge and eat within a few days.
