Method of preparing the pudding:
-
Preheat the oven to 325°F.Cut a 12-inch square of aluminum foil. Butter a 9-inch deep pie dish, and one side of the aluminum foil.
-
Over medium-high heat, cook the bananas with 4 tbsp. butter until golden brown. Add 2 tbsp. brown sugar and cook until the sugar has melted and the bananas have been coated. Set aside.
-
Beat the milk, the cream, eggs, yolk and 1/3 cup granulated sugar, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon and remaining 4 tablespoons of brown sugar together.
-
Brush the bread with the remaining butter then cut each slice in half. Layer the bread in a pie dish and tuck the bananas between the slices. Pour in the milk mixture and press until the liquid has been absorbed.
