Ingredients
- 10 slices stale bread (I often use french sticks and leave the crusts on)
- 3 ounces butter
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 4 ounces raisins or 4 ounces sultanas (or a mixture)
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pint milk
- 1/4 pint cream
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated nutmeg
Method
- Grease a large ovenproof casserole dish with some of the butter.
- Slice the bread and butter it.
- Place them in layers in the bowl, sprinkling the fruit on top of each layer.
- Whisk the eggs.
- Whisk the milk, cream, sugar and vanilla essence.
- Combine the eggs and the milk mixture.
- pour on top of the bread and fruit and leave to soak for about 2 hours, (until the bread is saturated). If there isn't enough liquid to cover the bread, add more milk and/or cream.
- Sprinkle the top with grated nutmeg.
- Bake in a medium oven for approximately 1 hour.
- The top should be golden brown, and the pudding will rise.
- Serve.
