Bread-and-Butter Pudding

7–8 slices white bread

½ tablespoon butter

2 large eggs

3 tablespoons granulated sugar

2 cups (1 pint) milk

2 tablespoons currants

2 tablespoons sultanas or golden raisins

1-quart soufflé or pie dish

Heat the oven to 350°.

Remove the crusts from the bread and, with Mary Poppins at your side, cut each slice in half lengthwise, making 14–16 very thin slices. Butter them on one side.

Beat the eggs and sugar together in a bowl. Add the milk and beat again. With a little butter, grease the inside of the dish. Lay two slices on the bottom, butter side up, and sprinkle with a quarter of the raisins and currants. Lay two more slices of buttered bread on top, buttered side up, and sprinkle with currants and raisins. Continue till there are only 4 slices left. Sprinkle remaining currants and raisins on top. Fit 2 slices into each side of the dish between the side and the layered bread. Fold them over so that they make a sort of lid. Pour the eggs and milk into the dish and wait for half an hour before baking in the middle of the preheated oven.

Bake for 40 minutes, at which time the top will be brown and crisp.
