Ingredients

4 cups milk
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
8 slices of bread, cut into cubes
1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
1/4 cup raisins (optional)

Instructions

The first step in making Belizean Bread and Butter Pudding is to preheat your oven to 350F/175C. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

In a large bowl, combine the milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla essence, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk until everything is well combined.

Add the bread cubes to the bowl and stir until they are evenly coated with the mixture. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the moisture.

Add the melted butter, stirring until everything is well combined. Stir in the raisins, if using. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Bake the pudding for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with a dollop of cream or ice-cream. Enjoy!
