Air Fryer Bread and Butter Pudding!

🍞 Air Fryer Bread and Butter Pudding

Ingredients:

• 6 slices of white bread

• Butter (enough to spread on both sides of each slice)

• 3 large eggs

• 300 ml (1¼ cups) milk

• 2 tbsp sugar (caster or granulated)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

• A handful of currants or raisins

• A little extra butter for greasing the dish

• A pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the bread:

   • Butter both sides of each slice of bread.

   • Cut into triangles or halves.

   • Grease a small ovenproof or air fryer–safe dish with butter.

2. Layer the pudding:

   • Arrange the buttered bread slices in the dish, slightly overlapping.

   • Sprinkle some currants (or raisins) between layers and on top.

3. Make the custard:

   • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract.

   • Pour this mixture evenly over the bread, pressing the bread down gently so it soaks up the liquid.

   • Let it sit for 5–10 minutes to absorb.

4. Cook in the air fryer:

   • Place the dish into the air fryer basket.

   • Set the air fryer to 160°C (320°F).

   • Cook for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard has set.

5. Serve:

   • Let it cool slightly before serving.

   • Enjoy warm with custard, cream, or ice cream.
