Ingredients

  • 8 slices of day-old white bread, ideally a good farmhouse or crusty white loaf
  • 50g softened butter, plus extra for greasing
  • 5–6 tbsp Folláin Raspberry Jam
  • 250ml whole milk
  • 250ml double cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 40g caster sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1–2 tbsp demerara sugar
  • A little extra Folláin Raspberry Jam, for finishing

Method

  1. Butter a medium baking dish. Generously butter the bread, then spread each slice with a good layer of Jam
  2. Arrange the bread in the dish, slightly overlapping the slices so jam is visible.
  3. Gently warm the milk and cream until just steaming. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolk, caster sugar and vanilla. Gradually pour in the warm milk and cream, whisking as you go (or use ready made custard!)
  4. Pour the custard evenly over the bread, gently pressing the slices down so they absorb some of it. Leave to stand for 20–30 minutes.
  5. Heat the oven to 180°C / 160°C fan. Sprinkle the pudding with demerara sugar and bake for 35–40 minutes, until golden on top and the custard is just set.
    Leave it to stand for 5 minutes. Add a few dollops of Folláin Raspberry Jam over the warm pudding before bringing the whole dish to the table.
