Recipe for pudding
Bread
2 cups of milk
2 large eggs
1/4  of sugar
1 tsp of Apple spice mix
1/4 cup of ghee (clarified butter)
hand full of raisins


In a small cake pan place the bread in such a way there is no gap. I  used half of the bread I baked for this pudding. Drizzle 1/8th of the sugar on the bread and some raisins. Generously brush the ghee all over the bread. Now mix the milk, eggs and apple spice mix well and pour over the the bread mix. Add the remaining raisins and sugar over the pan . Preheat the oven @  200 for  5mins. Now place the pan and bake @200C for 30mins. The top of the pudding should form a golden crust and inside of the pudding should not be soggy.
Cool the pudding for 5mins before serving.

Shared Pattern #5 : Kitty Bag

I know its a long gap between my pattern shares. I was super busy with my other works. So sincerely apologize. But I'm very happy it took this long. I came across this beautiful pattern. It has both the concept of graphgan and a becomes a useful bag. This is a great beginning for starters who wants to try hands on crochet graphghan. Small projects like these will initiate more to work on graphghans for beginners. I hope you will love working on this.
