CUSTARD BREAD PUDDING
I received this recipe from my husband's aunt who has been serving this at her restaurant for years. Great for people who don't like bready things, because it has more custard than bread.

BREAD AND BUTTER CUSTARD
From Sarah Ainley's book, The World's Best Recipes, Caribbean section. "This dessert is a delicious family favorite. A richer version can be made with fresh cream instead of evaporated milk. It can also be made using other dried fruit - mango is particularly good." Cook time does not include the 30 minutes standing time.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Lightly butter an ovenproof dish. Butter the bread slices and cut into small pieces.
- Lay the buttered bread in several layers in the prepared dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk and the fresh milk, mixed spice, sugar and eggs. Pour this mixture over the bread and butter. Sprinkle over the raisins and let stand for 30 minutes.
- Grate a little nutmeg over the top and bake for 30-40 minutes until the custard is just set and golden. Serve sprinkled with confectioner's sugar.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Make sure your oven is preheated before you start baking.
- Don't overbeat the eggs, as this can make the custard tough.
- Bake the custard until it is just set, as overbaking can make it rubbery.
- Let the custard cool completely before serving, as this will allow it to firm up.
- Serve the custard with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, or caramel sauce.
