Method :
Mix the milk powder and cream together until
well-combined. Cover and chill for 1-2 hours.
Trim off the crusts from the bread and cut them into
2.5cm/1in cubes.
Heat the oil in a wok or other suitable pan over a
medium heat. Fry the cubes of bread until they are well browned.
Drain on kitchen paper.
In a separate pan, put the milk, sugar, raisins and
saffron together and bring to simmering point. Add the fried bread
and cook until the bread has absorbed all the milk.
Transfer the bread to a serving plate and sprinkle
over the nutmeg, then spread the dried milk mixture over the top. If
the mixture is hard, use a fork to break down any lumps first.
Garnish with the almonds and silver leaf or silver
dust, if using. Serve at room temperature. |
