Ingredients

Serves 4

  • 40 g/1 1/2 oz butter

  • 4 slices of white bread, crusts removed

  • 4 tablespoons apricot jam

  • 25 g/1 oz chopped mixed peel

  • 25 g/1 oz sultanas

  • 450 ml/3/4 pint milk

  • 2 tablespoons sugar

  • 2 eggs, beaten

Method:

  1. Grease a 1.2 liter/2 pint ovenproof serving dish with one-third of the butter.

  2. Butter the bread and spread with the apricot jam. Cut the slices into small triangles. Layer the bread in the dish, sprinkling the mixed peel and sultanas between the layers.

  3. Place the milk and sugar in a saucepan and heat to just below boiling point. Remove from the heat and whisk in the eggs. Strain the mixture over the bread and leave to soak for 30 minutes.

  4. Place the dish in a roasting tin and fill with water to halfway up the sides; bake in a preheated oven, 180°C (350°F), Gas Mark 4, for 45 minutes.

  5. Increase the heat to 190°C (375°F), Gas Mark 5, and cook for a further 10-15 minutes until crisp and golden on top and just set. Serve at once.
