Goody or goodie is an Irish dessert-like dish made by boiling bread in milk with sugar and spices. It is often given to children or older adults. This dish is eaten on St. John's Eve where it would be prepared near the bonfires lit to celebrate. A variation was prepared using milky tea to soak the bread. It has nowadays been modified to suit the modern taste, by using cocoa powder and chocolate drops to sweeten.
Ingredients:
10 Slices of bread, crusts removed and cut into cubes
900ml whole milk
55g unsalted butter, melted
85g granulated sugar
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp freshly-grated nutmeg
Pinch of salt
Your favourite fruit for garnish (optional)
Method:
Combine all the ingredients in a medium-sized saucepan. Set over medium heat and bring to a boil.

Take off the heat, set aside to cool slightly then garnish with your favourite fruit and serve.
