Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg
• 8 slices stale bread
• 0.5 cup butter, softened
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 1.75 cups milk
• 0.5 cup dried currants

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch round pie dish or cake pan.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Sprinkle with 1/2 of the sugar and 1/2 cup currants. Arrange remaining bread on top, then sprinkle with remaining sugar.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and set, about 30 to 40 minutes.
