1 pound bread in slices - about 1 loaf, 1/2 cup butter.

4 cups milk.

2 tablespoons sugar,

3 eggs (6 yolks are better.) 1 cup currants.

Grated nutmeg enough to flavor.

Have the slices free from dark crust, spread the butter on them, place in two layers in the pudding pan with currants between and on top. Beat eggs, sugar, milk and nutmeg together, and pour over the bread, cover with either buttered paper or crust and bake half an hour. Serve with sauce or sweetened cream.
