The weekend snacks: Apple raisin bread pudding

Been having a craving to learn how to make a bread and butter pudding... (partly because the pup likes it) and it's something I've never tried before... so why not!

Most recipes I saw online were for a regular sized pudding but I didn't want to venture that far and thought I'd experiment in small doses first. So I kinda made up my own recipe based on what I read online...

Ingredients
- 250 ml of milk (I used a small tetra pak)
- 1 egg
- 1 drop of vanilla essence
- 1 tsp sugar
- slices of white sandwich bread (or you can use any good bread, really)
- 1 green apple, cubed
- raisins (as much as you like) 



Add the milk, egg and vanilla. Mix well. No need to beat it until it's all bubbly and fluffy.

Add a little sugar and mix well. Make sure the sugar is dissolved.

Butter the bread and cut into strips and then into halves. Well I did this because my ramekins are rather small but you can do them in triangles or even just halves if you're making a regular sized one.

Put one layer of buttered bread and sprinkle the top with cubed apple and raisins.
  
Repeat until you reach the top. Then slowly pour in the egg/milk mixture till just about three-quarter full

Be warned. Pouring liquid into a small container can get quite messy!

Sprinkle a bit of sugar on top so you'll get a nice brown crispy top. Stick it in the oven for about 20 mins or so and it's ready!

Happy trying!
