8oz stale bread
4oz raisins (could use currants, mixed fruit, sultanas etc)
2oz brown sugar
2oz butter
� tsp mixed spice
1 egg
Milk
Pre-heat oven to 170 C / 325 F
Break bread into small pieces and soak in cold water for an hour or so. Drain and squeeze dry.
Place into a bowl, mash and add the dried fruit, sugar and mixed spice, and stir together well.
Add the egg and enough milk to make a loose mixture - (should just drop off a spoon, not be too stiff.)
Place into a greased baking tin and bake for about an hour or until slightly firm to the touch.
When done finish with a good shaking of sugar over the top and serve with lashings of proper custard....
