Bread and butter pudding is known in various versions throughout the British Isles. This particular version comes from Argyllshire.

Ingredients:

6 slices of bread, liberally spread with butter
marmalade
600ml milk
2 eggs
generous handful of mixed dried fruit
sugar to taste
generous grating of nutmeg

Method:

Spread one side of the bread with marmalade, then cut the bread into four squares and arrange these, overlapping slightly, in a baking dish. Beat the eggs in a bowl. Add the milk to a saucepan and bring to scalding point (where small bubbles form around the edges of the pan). Take the milk off the heat, and whilst whisking constantly, add in a steady stream to the eggs.

Pass the resultant custard through a fine-meshed sieve and sweeten to taste with sugar. Stir the fruit into the custard then pour over the bread and set aside to soak for 20 minutes. Grate over a little nutmeg then transfer to an oven pre-heated to 180°C and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the custard is set and the pudding is nicely browned on top.
