Ingredients:

300ml milk
45g sugar
1/2 tsp ground ginger
5 slices of buttered bread with crusts removed
pinch of ground nutmeg
pinch of ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
grated zest of 1 lemon

Method:

Pour the milk into a saucepan along with the spices. Heat until almost boiling then take off the heat, add the lemon zest, cover and set aside to steep for 1 hour. At the end of this time beat the eggs and sugar together and add to the milk, stirring to incorporate.

Use the bread to cover the base and sides of a 1l pudding basin (the butter side should face the dish). Strain the egg custard into the dish, top with a buttered sheet of greaseproof paper then cover with foil and tie securely. Place to steam over a pan of boiling water. Cook the pudding for about 50 minutes. Allow to cool slightly then tip onto a plate and serve with custard.
