Helpful Chef Tips
- Let the bread soak long enough to soak up the custard fully, about 20-30 minutes.
- Bake until the top is golden and the center is just set to avoid dryness.
Step 1
Heat the milk in a saucepan until it just starts to boil. Set aside 1 cup of the hot milk.
Step 2
Stir the cardamom powder into the remaining milk, mixing well.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the custard powder with the reserved hot milk until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the custard mixture back into the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes, until it thickens.
Step 5
Stir in the chopped nuts, then take the pan off the heat and let the custard cool.
Step 6
In a bowl, mix together the cream and powdered sugar. Spread this creamy mixture over 4 slices of bread, then cut each slice into 4 pieces.
Step 7
In another bowl, combine milk and sugar. Quickly dip each side of the bread pieces into this mixture for about a second.
Step 8
Arrange the bread pieces on a plate, pour the cooled custard over them, and garnish with nuts and saffron. Serve and enjoy!
