Ingredients

8 slices stale bread
0.5 cup butter, softened
0.5 cup white sugar
0.5 cup dried currants
1.75 cups milk
2 eggs eggs
1 pinch ground nutmeg

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round pie dish or cake pan to prevent sticking.
Generously butter each slice of bread on both sides and cut into triangle shapes. Arrange a layer of buttered bread triangles in the prepared pan, slightly overlapping.
Sprinkle half of the sugar and half a cup of currants evenly over the bread. Add the remaining bread on top, followed by the remaining sugar and currants.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and nutmeg until well combined. Pour this mixture evenly over the bread and press down firmly to ensure proper absorption.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 to 40 minutes, or until the pudding is golden brown and set. Let cool slightly before serving.
