Instructions

1. Mix 5 eggs with 1 cup (200g) sugar.
2. Add 3.5 cups (850ml) milk and 1/2 cup (125ml) whipping cream.
3. Add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
4. Add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest and 1 cup (150g) raisins.
5. Mix in 6 cups (300g) of stale bread, cut into pieces.
6. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
7. Remove from the fridge and spread your mixture onto a lightly greased pan. Leave it at room temperature for one hour before baking.
8. Preheat oven to 360F and bake for 35-40 minutes.
9. While baking, make your custard. To do this, heat 1.5 cup (375ml) water with 1 cup (200g) of sugar. Add 3 tablespoons of cornstarch and mix.
10. Add vanilla sugar (or 1/2 tsp vanilla extract).
11. Take some of the water mixture, add to your 2 egg yolks, and mix.
12. Combine all, bring to a boil, and cook on medium heat.
13. Add a pinch of salt and continue to mix until the custard thickens. 
14. Remove from heat, add 3 tablespoons of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of butter. Mix until the butter is melted and your custard is thin enough to pour. 
15. Remove the bread pudding from the oven. Once you slice the individual servings, pour the custard over each slice, and enjoy!
