Eggless Bread Pudding

Ingredients

6 white bread slices large 1 1/2 cups milk 7 tbsps Sugar 3 tsp Custard Powder 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract 2 tbsps Milk powder Method

Roughly, chop the bread slices, grind it in to powder, and keep aside.

In pan, add milk and heat it until warm (no need to boil).

Add 5 tbsps sugar and custard powder and keep stirring until sugar dissolves and mixture starts getting thick.

Now add the bread powder in the milk along with vanilla extractand milk powder, mix well and keep aside.

In a baking pan (any shape) add little water and 2 tbsps sugar and place the pan on stovetop.

Keep stirring the sugar water mix until you see bubbles appearing. Gradually you will see the sugar turning brown in color and caramelizing.

Turn off the gas and spread the caramel equally on the base as well as the sides. You need to be very fast as the caramel sets quickly.

Pour the bread batter in the caramelized pan and tap gently to settle.

Heat water in a steamer and place the covered pan in it.

Steam the pudding for 30-35 mins in medium flame.

Once the pudding is ready, allow it to cool down completely and then invert it to a plate. You can cut it to desired shape before serving.

Notes

Be sure you do not over heat the sugar syrup after it turns golden in colour, otherwise it may taste bitter. Also, take care not to burn it in the sides of the pan, tilt it frequently to avoid this.
