March 20, 2009 | By Admin In Desserts |

6 thin slices buttered bread

2 cups milk

1/3 cup sugar

1 square chocolate

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

2 eggs

1/4 teaspoon salt

Butter the bread, cut it into finger lengths, and lay these in buttered baking dish. Melt the chocolate in the inner vessel of a double boiler, add to it the milk, flavoring, and sugar and bring to scalding point. Pour this mixture over the well-beaten eggs. When mixed, pour it over the slices of bread. Bake at 350 degrees until the custard is set. Serve hot or cold.

It is preferable to place the dish containing the pudding in a pan of hot water while baking so that the eggs may not separate through too rapid cooking.
