Ingredients. - Ten or twelve thin slices of bread and butter, two pints of milk, four eggs, two dessertspoonfuls of sugar, sultanas, currants or candied lemon, if liked.

Method. - Cut off the crust and divide each slice of bread into four squares, arrange them in layers in a well-buttered pie-dish, and sprinkle each layer with sultanas or whatever is being used. Beat the eggs, add the sugar, stir until dissolved, then mix in the milk and pour gently over the bread, which should only half fill the dish. Let it stand at least one hour for the bread to soak, then bake in a moderately cool oven for one hour.
