Tips and ideas for making a perfect pudding

1. Do not unmold it until it is cold because otherwise you run the risk of it breaking.
2. Always use silicone molds. They are great to unmold and to use for cooking in a bain-marie, since it does not get water as in the removable mold.
3. If you choose to use milk that is marketed with cinnamon and lemon, keep in mind that you will need less sugar.
4. To add raisins, soak them in rum or cognac until they look puffed and add them when the mixture is already in the mold.
5. If you are going to make the liquid caramel : for every 100 grams of sugar, 3 tablespoons of water and a few drops of lemon. Put it to heat and, when it begins to take color, remove it from the heat. If you leave it too long it will take on a bitter taste.
6. If you want, you can substitute cookies for muffins. For every half a liter of milk add 3 muffins.
7. Another option is to substitute sliced ​​bread for cookies. In this case, for every half a liter of milk, add between 6 and 8 slices of bread without the crust.
8. Pudding is always much better prepared from one day to the next. When you have it ready, put it in the fridge. The next day it will be delicious.
9. If you’re opting to bake it, cover the pudding with aluminum foil for the last 10 minutes  so it doesn’t burn on top.
