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