Pudín De Pan Salado Recipes

BUDíN DE PAN (BREAD PUDDING)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• You will need a baking dish for the bread pudding. You can use a 13x9 pan, 12-inch round or anything similar.
• You will also need a larger roasting pan that can hold the pudding pan along with water for the "bath." Set the pans aside.
• In a large bowl whisk together evaporated milk, sugar, eggs, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and raisins (if using). Mix in bread and let soak for at least 10 minutes, until thoroughly saturated.
• In a microwave safe dish (such as a 2-cup Pyrex measuring cup) combine the sugar, water and cloves (if using). Start with 4 minutes and microwave until sugar begins to melt, bubble and turn a light amber color.
• Add additional time in 30 second increments until a deep caramel color is achieved. Be careful after it begins to darken since it can burn easily.
• Strain out the cloves and quickly pour the caramel into the pan and swirl to coat the bottom. CAUTION: Use an oven mitt or towel when handling since the pan will be hot.
• Let caramel cool before adding bread pudding mixture to thedish. Place pudding dish in the larger dish and fill the large dish with hotwater that comes halfway up the side of the smaller pan.
• Bake at 350°F for 1 hour. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean when done. If not, continue cooking and checking for doneness.
• Remove budín from water bath and let cool to room temperature. For best results, refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight to set and develop flavor. Bring to room temperature before turning over on a tray and unmolding.
