BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING

Bread and Butter Pudding image

This simple bread pudding is an easy way to use up those bits and pieces that seem to lie around the pantry. Save a fortune and make this tasty pudding. I like to serve this with custard sauce but it goes well with whipped cream, ice cream, or also great on its own.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

8 slices stale bread
½ cup butter, softened
½ cup white sugar
½ cup dried currants
1 ¾ cups milk
2 eggs
1 pinch ground nutmeg

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch round pie dish or cake pan.
Butter the bread on both sides and cut into triangles. Arrange a single layer of buttered bread in the bottom of the greased pan, slightly overlapping the triangles. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the sugar and all of the currants. Arrange the remaining bread on top, then sprinkle with remaining sugar.
Beat milk, eggs, and nutmeg together. Pour over the bread and press down firmly to compress the pudding and help the bread absorb the milk mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and set, about 30 minutes.
