*A recipe for using up stale bread. Unlike bread pudding, with which this is sometimes confused, this is better made with stale white bread. This is a tangy version and quite a bit richer than the frugal original which was probably Mrs Beeton's bread and butter pudding.*

## Ingredients

- 50 g (2 oz) butter

8 slices of stale white bread from a smallish loaf

50 g (2 oz) currants

10 g (1/2 oz) mixed candied peel

grated zest from half a lemon

3 large eggs, beaten

60 ml (2.5 fl oz) double cream

275 ml (10 fl oz) full cream milk

50 g (2 oz) caster sugar

Freshly grated nutmeg to personal taste

## Method

Pre-heat the oven to 180° C (350° F - gas 4)
 Lightly grease a baking tray with butter.
 Leaving the crusts on, butter each slice of bread and cut into eight pieces. Arrange a layer of bread and sprinkle with half of the currants and candied peel.
 Arrange the remaining bread and sprinkle with the remaining currants and peel.
 Add the double-cream, milk, sugar, lemon zest and beaten eggs to a bowl and whisk together well. Pour this mixture over the layered bread, sprinkle with a little freshly grated nutmeg and bake for 40 minutes.
 Serve warm
