I managed to upset the mother in law with my bread pudding as everyone prefered mine to hers. Its much simpler than most recipes but I think its the best. 4 large slices of white buttered bread. Arrange in a bowl. 4 ozs sultanas or raisons. (Make sure the majority are buried by the bread else they will burn) 2 table spoons of brown sugar sprinkled over the bread. Custard part 1 pint of milk beat three eggs into the milk. Add 2 oz white sugar and mix into the milk and eggs. Pour custard onto the bread . Cook in an oven until set. Eat. Nice mmmmmmmm.
