Bread and Butter Pugging: A classic British recipe for a dessert of bread slices baked in a custard base with currants.
Ingredients:
16 slices of
Breads (or more, depending on the size of your dish)
butter, softened, for greasing
100g currants or sultanas
50g sugar
900ml milk
3 eggs
freshly-grated nutmeg, to taste
Method:
Butter the Breads liberally on one side then quarter into triangles. Place a layer of the buttered bread triangles in the base of an oven-proof baking dish (overlap them slightly) then sprinkle some of the currants (or sultanas) over the top.
Now add another layer of bread slices and some more fruit. Continue this layering process until the bread is all used up, finishing with a few of the dried fruit.
Add the milk to a pan, bring to a boil then take off the heat. Beat the eggs in a heat-proof bowl and season to taste with grated nutmeg and beat in the sugar. Whilst whisking constantly, add the milk as a steady stream. Strain the milk mixture into a jug then pour over the layered bread and butter mix.
Scatter some more sugar over the top of the dish and add a little more freshly-grated nutmeg. Place the dish in an oven pre-heated to 150°C and bake for about 60 minutes, or until the top is golden and the custard has set.
Serve hot, accompanied by custard or cream.
