9 x 11 baking dish; larger lasagna pan; mixer; bowls, etc.
Preheat to 350. Serves 6-8.
INGREDIENTS
cubed stale bread, about 4 cups, 1/2 in. cubes (I used half old baguette, half white loaf.)
eggs, 4, separated
sugar, 1/3 cup + 2 T + 1t
milk, whole, 3 cups
cider, hard, 1 cup (Doesn't have to be hard.)
raisins, 1/3 cup + 2 T
apple, about 1/3 cup finely chopped (I used 2/3 of a small apple.)
cinnamon, 1/2 t + sprinkle
DIRECTIONS
- Cube bread in put in large mixing bowl. Prep apple.
- Heat milk to warm, not boiling. When hot, whisk in cider. It will start to curdle, so whisk in quickly and then pour over bread and mix.
- Combine egg yolks with 1/3 cup sugar. Add with 1/2 cinnamon, chopped apple, and 1/3 cup raisins to bread mixture. Combine.
- Beat egg whites to stiff peaks. Beat in about 2T sugar. Fold egg whites into bread mixture.
- Transfer bread mixture to 9x11 baking dish. Top with 2 T raisins, 1 t sugar, and sprinkle of cinnamon.
- Place 9 x 11 dish in larger lasagna pan. Place in oven. Fill measuring cup with hot water from tap. Pour into the lasagna pan wen it's in the oven to create a bath.
- Bake at 300F for 40 minutes or until set.
- To remove, use a baster to remove some of the water form the lasagna pan, then lift out the pudding dish. This makes it easier.
