Bread and Butter Pud

After searching for recipes last night for Bread and Butter Pudding, and not finding any that looked overly inspiring, i thought i'd make my own. Bear in mind that i'm a bloke and any kind of weighing or measuring were deemed completely unnessecary. But damn it tasted good...

ingredients...
1 medium brioche loaf (20p yellow stickered in morrisons)
handful of currants
an apple, chopped pretty small
squirty honey
demerera sugar
some butter
3/4 - 1 pint milk
2 eggs
a couple tbps sugar
small splash vanilla essence

Butter the bread, then stack in a greased pyrex dish in layers, scattering some currants, apple and a thin swirl of honey between each layer.

stick a decent sized knob of butter in a saucepan, add milk, eggs, sugar vanilla and keep mixing until hot and thickened. then pour straight over bread.

shake the bowl about, and maybe poke some holes and lift with a knife to make sure the custard gets to the bottom. then sprinkle with a bit of demerera and put in a medium oven (170 ish) until nice and brown.

and enjoy with some nice ice cream.... YUM

    for special occasions try a drop of liqueur on the bottom layer of bread!

    I put grated nutmeg on top or a pinch of ground cinammon scattered over.

    for sheer indulgence half cream/half milk!
