- Well, I tried this last night for a potluck and it worked
- really well, so I thought I'd share.
-
- Ingredients: (for six servings, with probably a few scrapings
- left)
-
- 10 slices very cheap white sliced bread
- butter
- 1.5 cups raisins
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- grated zest of one orange
- about 3 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1.5 pints milk (preferably full cream)
- 3 eggs
-
- 1 deep 8" tin (I in fact used a cookie tin, which worked
- excellently)
-
- Butter bread liberally (this tends to be the only way that you
- can butter it, as it falls apart otherwise). I prefer to leave
- the crusts on, but tradition would remove them - take your pick.
-
- Lay bread slices, butter side up, into bottom of tin. Cut
- pieces to fit to create a complete layer. Sprinkle with half a
- cup of sugar and half the raisins and cinnamon. Add a second
- layer of bread, placing pieces so that any gaps in the bottom
- layer are covered by slices in the second. Add the grated
- orange, the remainder of the raisins and another half-cup of
- sugar. Top with a third layer of bread and then the remaining
- sugar and cinnamon.
-
- Beat the eggs; beat them into the milk (thoroughly - otherwise
- you end up with eggy lumps in the final product). Pour mixture
- into tin - preferably, pour down the side of the tin to avoid
- washing off the top layer of sugar and cinnamon. It should
- come not quite over the bread - about half-way up the third
- layer is right.
-
- Leave to sit for an hour (not essential, but best).
-
- Bake in preheated 400 degree oven for 35 minutes. It should
- rise like a souffle; this will drop as soon as you take it from
- the oven, but don't worry!
-
- Serve hot with thick cream (not whipped, just heavy cream).
