Ingredients
- 3 slices Bread slices (preferably slightly stale)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 large Egg
- 200 milliliters Milk
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Raisins (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Butter one side of each bread slice using 1 tablespoon of butter in total. Tear the buttered bread into small pieces and arrange them in a microwave-safe dish (roughly 6 inches in diameter).
Step 2
If using, sprinkle raisins evenly over the bread pieces.
Step 3
In a microwave-safe measuring jug or bowl, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the microwave (about 20 seconds).
Step 4
Whisk the egg, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract into the melted butter until well combined. Add ground cinnamon, if desired.
Step 5
Pour the egg and milk mixture evenly over the bread pieces, ensuring all the bread gets soaked. Gently press the bread with the back of a spoon to help it absorb the liquid.
Step 6
Place the dish in the microwave and cook on medium power for 5-6 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is slightly golden. The cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage.
Step 7
Allow the pudding to rest for 2 minutes after cooking; it will firm up slightly as it cools.
Step 8
Serve warm on its own or with a dollop of cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
