Ingredients

• 4 whole hot dog buns
• 2 cups milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 3 large eggs
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter, ensuring it is evenly coated.

Step 2

Tear the hot dog buns into bite-sized pieces and place them into the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, and granulated sugar until smooth and combined.

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt to the mixture. Whisk again to incorporate all the spices.

Step 5

Pour the custard mixture evenly over the torn hot dog buns in the baking dish. Press the bread down gently with the back of a spoon to ensure it absorbs the custard.

Step 6

If using raisins, sprinkle them evenly over the top of the custard-soaked bread.

Step 7

Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to fully soak up the custard.

Step 8

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the custard is set. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 9

Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
