    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    9 ounces milk
    9 ounces double cream (whipping cream)
    3 fresh vanilla beans, cut open*
    Salt, to taste
    5 eggs
    1 loaf of thinly sliced white bread (crusts removed)
    3 ounces butter
    1 ounce raisins, soaked in water for approximately half-hour & drained
    1 teaspoon cinnamon sugar**
    Vanilla sauce (optional)

    Recipe



    Grease a 2-quart, ovenproof baking dish with butter. (The dish must be at least 4" deep.) Set aside.

    In a saucepan, bring the milk, cream, butter, salt and vanilla beans to a boil.

    In a separate bowl, mix the eggs and sugar together. Add the simmering milk mixture to eggs and sugar. Pass the combined mixture through a sieve.

    In the prepared baking dish, arrange thinly sliced bread in layers, placing the water-soaked raisins between each layer. Cover the bread layers with the milk mixture.

    Place the baking dish into a water bath (a roasting pan filled 1/3 with water) and bake in a 350 degree F oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until golden brown.

    Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar and serve with vanilla sauce.

    Notes:

    Real vanilla may be substituted for vanilla beans, approximately 1/2 teaspoon (or to taste)

    Cinnamon sugar = 1 cup sugar plus 1 or 2 tablespoons of cinnamon to taste.


    4 Servings
