Toast Pudding

Take 3 slices of dry bread and toast to a nice brown, but do not burn. Butter each piece and put in a pudding dish.

Make a custard of 4 eggs (reserve whites of 2 for frosting), ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 pint sweet milk, 1 pint water, a pinch of salt, 1 tablespoon vanilla (or ½ teaspoon nutmeg). Pour over toast and bake. When baked, beat well the 2 egg whites with 1 teaspoon sugar and spread over top.

Put back in oven till a nice brown. Serve with milk or whipped cream.
