Bread and Butter Pudding

Bread
Butter
Sultanas
Powdered cinnamon
3 eggs
1 pint milk
3 table-spoons powdered sugar

Cut a number of slices of bread, taking off the crusts and spreading them with butter. Butter a pudding-dish and fill it three parts full with the slices of bread and butter, sprinkling a little powdered cinnamon and a few sultanas between each layer. Beat the sugar and eggs together. Add the milk and flavouring. Strain. Pour slowly on the bread, letting it absorb all it can. Bake in a moderate oven for an hour.

A good variation of this pudding is made by spreading each layer of bread and butter with jam.
