Bread Pudding
This fine old English dish is from the Woman's Own Book of the Home, 1932
1/2 lb stale bread
1 oz suet or dripping (or lard)
currants
1/2 oz sugar
1/4 pint milk
1 egg
nutmeg
Soak the bread in cold water, squeeze dry, put a layer in a greased pie-dish, then a little chopped suet and some sugar and a few currants. Repeat this until the dish is nearly full, grate on a little nutmeg, beat the egg, mix with the milk and pour over the bread. Bake for about 3/4 hour.
