1 cup whole milk

1 cup half and half

2 eggs

3/4 c turbinado sugar

1 tbsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp cardamom

1/2 tsp cinnamon

Zest from 1 orange

1/2 cup golden raisins

Pinch of salt

3 tbsp butter

1. Prepare the custard

Preset the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and half and half until totally combined. Next, whisk in the sugar, vanilla, cardamom, cinnamon, orange zest, and salt until the sugar is dissolved.

2. Combine your ingredients

Add the custard to the dried bread cubes and fold in the raisins. Allow it to sit for 15-20 minutes until the custard is absorbed into the bread

3. Prepare the casserole

Fold the mixture together once more (it's ok if the bread cubes break down a little bit) and pour the mixture into a greased casserole. Dice the butter and distribute it over the top. Sprinkle with some more turbinado sugar if desired.

4. Bake

Bake the bread pudding until set, about 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Serve warm.
