Note

For best results, use day-old bread as it absorbs the custard better without falling apart.

If you prefer a warmer topping, you can gently heat the berries with a little sugar in a pan before serving.

This recipe can be adapted for dietary needs by using plant-based milk and egg substitutes for the batter.
