Ingredients:

For Caramel

Sugar ¼ cup

For Pudding

Bread Slices 6 nos

Custard Powder 3 tbsp

Milk 2 cups

Sugar ½ cup

Method:

1. Firstly, on a hot pan, add sugar and let it melt. Don’t use a spoon or spatula to stir it. Just rotate the pan to melt it evenly, till it’s golden in colour. Pour the caramel into a glass bowl or baking tin and spread it evenly.

2. Add custard powder to a blender jar. Cut the sides of the bread; this step is optional. Add the bread into the blender, along with milk, and blend them all into a smooth paste.

3. The next step is to cook the ground paste and thicken it. Use a whisk to mix it well to avoid lumps. Cook it well till it is smooth and thick.

4. Pour the paste into the glass bowl or baking tin with the caramel and tap it slightly. Now, let’s set the steamer.

5. Take a kadhai and put a ring on the base, then pour water. Cover the bowl with aluminum foil and keep it on the ring. Turn on the gas and close the lid of the kadhai. Cook it for 30 minutes on low flame.

6. Take the bowl out and remove the foil. Cool it and keep it in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

7. Time to de-mould! Keep the plate on top of the bakeware and turn it upside down. That’s it. Eggless Caramel Bread Pudding is ready to be served.
