Caramel-coated bread pudding with milk, eggs, vanilla and lemon zest.

About Budin de Pan
Paulina Cocina presents budín de pan as a familiar grandmother-style dessert made from leftover bread. Her Argentine rendition has a smooth, flan-like texture, with milk, eggs and sugar forming the custard around the soaked bread.
Lemon zest and vanilla essence flavour the mixture. A layer of caramel lines the mould before the pudding is baked gently in a water bath, giving the finished dessert its glossy amber surface.
The pudding cools completely and rests before unmoulding. A spoonful of dulce de leche accompanies the soft slices, adding another rich caramel note to the bread-and-milk base.
