I've lost that custardly feeling...(with apologies to The Righteous Brothers)
I've posted about desserts for two, my newest fun things to bake.. One of our faves is bread pudding for two.. Simple and good eats..
I need some wisdom from DC bakers.. I love custards and custardly desserts.. We really enjoy the simple recipe I use but... The finished product just seems to fall short in the custard department.. I think I may need help with proportions of the ingredients..
Here is the recipe I have been using:
Bread Pudding For Two
adapted from:
Bread Pudding For Two Recipe | Taste of Home
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 10 min. Bake: 40 min.MAKES: 2 servings
Ingredients
1-1/2 cups day-old buttered bread cubes (2 slices)
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Dash salt
Divide bread between two greased 8-oz. baking dishes; set aside.
In a bowl, beat eggs, milk, vanilla, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
Pour over bread. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Cool slightly. Serve warm. Yield: 2 servings.
Is the bread to custard ratio correct?? Any suggestions for tweaking to produce more custard??
