Raisins - 4 tbsp

Thin custard sauce - 3 cups

For topping:

Maida - ½ cup

Butter - 2 tbsp

Serve with:

Chilled custard or Sweetened cream or Vanilla ice ceream

For thin custard we need 3 cups milk, 4 tsp custard powder & 2 tbsp sugar ( or
to taste).

Mix ½ cup cold milk with custard powder well & keep ready.

Heat the rest of the milk.

When it starts boiling, add sugar & custard-milk mixture.

Boil, stirring to prevent lump formation till the mixture thickens.

Remove.

Trim the edges & make sandwiches with butter & jam.

Cut them into 2 pieces.

Place half of them in a well greased casserole dish,, pour 1 cup custard over it.

Sprinkle half the raisins & spread a little more custard sauce.

Repeat the procedure again.

Over the last layer of custard, dot with jam.

Rub flour with butter to bread crumb consistency & sprinkle over.

Dot with butter & bake at 350 deg for 25-30 mts.

Serve hot with cooled custard or chilled sweetened cream or ice cream.

Do not refrigerate - it will become hard.
