Ingredients

• 8 slices day-old brioche (or white bread)
• 50 grams unsalted butter
• 3 large eggs
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 500 ml whole milk
• 150 ml double cream (or heavy cream)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons whiskey
• 50 grams raisins
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F). Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish with butter.

Step 2

Butter one side of each slice of brioche generously using the unsalted butter.

Step 3

Cut the buttered brioche slices into triangles or squares for easy layering, and set aside.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until creamy and pale.

Step 5

Add the whole milk, double cream, vanilla extract, whiskey, and ground cinnamon to the egg mixture. Whisk until well combined to form a custard.

Step 6

Layer half of the buttered bread slices in the prepared baking dish, overlapping them slightly.

Step 7

Sprinkle half of the raisins evenly over the bread layer.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining bread slices and raisins to form a second layer.

Step 9

Carefully pour the prepared custard mixture over the bread layers, ensuring all slices are evenly soaked.

Step 10

Let the pudding rest for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.

Step 11

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard has set.

Step 12

Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.

Step 13

Serve warm with a dollop of cream, custard, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent finish.
