Bread-And-Butter Pudding

Bread and butter

3 eggs

½ cup sugar

¼ teaspoon salt

1 quart milk

1 teaspoon flavoring

Cut thin slices of bread; remove the crusts; butter both sides and line the bottom and sides of the pudding dish with them. Beat the eggs; add milk, sugar and flavoring; strain and pour over the bread. Sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg over the top; let stand for twenty minutes; then bake in a slow oven. As soon as the custard begins to thicken on the sides of the dish it is done, and should be removed at once or it will whey. Serve with or without sauce.
