Any old loaves of bread were sliced up, buttered or spread with margarine and placed in an enamel baking dish. Handfuls of mixed preserved fruit such as dried sultanas and raisins were sprinkled between the slices, and a sprinkling of sugar spread across the top. Bunged into the oven and baked until crispy on top.
Bread and Butter Pudding, served hot with fresh Bird's (other brands were available,) custard. (How did that pink powder turn yellow when you added the milk?)
Delicious on a winter evening!
