Bread-and-Butter Pudding. Time—¾ hour.
6 slices bread-and-butter, ½ oz. butter, 1 oz. currants, 1 oz. sultanas, 1 oz. candied peel, 2 oz. brown sugar, 1 egg, ½ pint milk; nutmeg or cinnamon to taste.
Butter a pie-dish, lay the slices of bread-and-butter in it, sprinkle the currants, sultanas and candied peel between each slice. Beat the egg, add to it the sugar and milk, stir well together, and pour over the bread-and-butter. Put little bits of butter over the top, and grate some nutmeg over. Bake in a moderate oven about ½ hour.
A good pudding can be made with bread-and-jam instead of bread-and-butter, leaving out the currants, sultanas and candied peel.
