Ingredients

• 3 cups cornflakes
• 3 cups whole milk
• 3 large eggs
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 cups raisins (optional)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 pinch pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornflakes and milk. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to soften the cornflakes.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.

Step 4

Slowly pour the egg mixture into the softened cornflakes and milk, stirring gently to combine.

Step 5

If using raisins, fold them into the mixture at this stage.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top.

Step 7

Place the baking dish in the center of the preheated oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 8

To check for doneness, insert a knife into the center—it should come out clean.

Step 9

Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Optionally, pair it with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of maple syrup.
