(dish is more or less 12 by 9 inches).
6
Sprinkle 3/4 of the raisins between the bread slices (open them a little and distribute evenly. Pour the milk and yolk custard evenly over the bread, gently press the bread so it all soaks (don't squash the triangle tops), sprinkle with the remaining raisins and pour the Port wine over the bread. Let rest for 30 to 60 minutes so bread soaks well.
7
Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F with rack in the middle of the oven.

Cook the pudding for around 20 minutes or until it is golden brown and the cream is set. Sprinkle the brown sugar on top and leave in the oven for another 5 minutes.
9
Put the pudding on a wire rack to cool to warm and serve warm.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
