Bread and Butter Pudding

Butter stale bread (made from Five Roses flour). Place a layer of bread and butter in bottom of pudding dish. Strew raisins and currants over this, then lay another layer of bread and butter with another layer of fruit over it. Have bread and butter on top. Make a custard of 2 eggs to 3 cups of milk and½ cup sugar.

Pour this over pudding, and bake in slow oven for 1½ hours.

Note-When using stale bread for puddings, always soak it in cold liquid.

Bread that has been soaked in cold milk or water will be crumbly and light, whereas if soaked in hot liquid it will be heavy.
