How to make it
Cut the bread into thin slices and put them in a bowl with the butter. Pour over the boiling milk and let it sit for a few hours. Dissolve the bread with a fork or pass it through a sieve, then add the eggs, sugar and grated zest. You can also add raisins, chopped apples, chocolate chips, dried and candied fruit, or pears lightly poached in lemon — the variations are many.
Caramelize 4 tablespoons of sugar in a pudding mould 14cm in diameter, pour in the mixture and cook in a water bath for 50 minutes.
