Instructions

1. Remove the crusts from the bread.
2. Butter each slice on one side only and cut into triangles.
3. Use some of the butter to grease an ovenproof dish.
4. Cover the base of the dish with one layer of bread triangles, laying the buttered side down.
5. Sprinkle some of the sultanas on the bread with a little nutmeg or cinnamon.
6. Repeat with another layer of bread, sultanas and spice, finishing with a layer of bread with the buttered side up.
7. Beat the eggs with the milk and sugar and pour over the bread layers.
8. Let the pudding sit for 30 minutes so that the bread soaks up the liquid.
9. Bake at 180°C for about 30 minutes or until golden and puffy.
10. Serve warm with custard.
