  2. 2

    Make the pudding mixture

    Whisk the eggs and milk together and mix with the crumbled, sieved bread and the sugar.

  3. 3

    Cook in a water bath

    Pour the mixture into the mould and cook in a water bath for 1½ hours.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve cold with the caramel sauce over.

Changes from the original

Measures are converted to g, dl and tbsp. The text was split over two pages and mixed with another recipe (Fruit on a base), which is left out. "The sugar is browned" is taken to mean the brown sugar of the glaze. "iy 2 time" is read as 1½ hours.
