Has anybody got a recipe for a perfect Bread Pudding

[Pea Pod]

5 slices bread, spread with butter and marmalade. Cut into triangles and put in a dish with a sprinkling of mixed fruit between layers. 2large eggs and half pint of milk beaten together with 2 tablespoons sugar. Pour milk mixture over and stand till liquid soaks in. Put water in a roasting tin and place your dish in. Bake for 30-45 mins. If insufficent liquid mix another egg with some milk. If you like sprinkle nutmeg or cinamon on top before baking.

I'll look it up and get back to you if somebody doesn't beat me to it.

In my recipe above I omitted to add the butter. It needs to be mixed in at the same time as the dried fruit and sugar.
