Ingredients

• 2/3 loaf of stale bread, sliced with crust removed
• 2 cups of milk
• 1 tbsp custard powder or 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 1/2 cup of butter, melted
• 4 beaten eggs
• 1/2 tsp sugar (can be adjusted to your taste)
• vanilla essence
• 250 g (about 1/2 lb) raisins
• nutmeg to taste

Soak the bread in milk for about 15 – 20 minutes or until well soaked. Drain well. In a large bowl, mix together butter, custard powder, eggs, sugar, raisins and vanilla essence. Arrange bread in a well greased backing dish and sprinkle the nutmeg over. Bake in a 350F oven until you stick a knife in and it comes out clean, about 30 – 40 minutes.
