Food goes in and out of fashion, it's amazing to watch! Is Ottolenghi out of f(l)avour? Or are we bored? Or what?

Today we unpack a classic old-fashioned dessert and one of the few desserts we ate in my house when I was a wee little tacker.

PRE-HEAT YOUR OVEN 180C

Grease a 1.5 L oven dish.

CUSTARD INGREDIENTS

MIX THESE THINGS TOGETHER IN A JUG:

2 eggs

2 tbs caster sugar

500ml milk

1 tsp vanilla essence

PUDDING

2tbs sultanas

10 slices old, white bread, cut into triangles

optional: butter the bread

METHOD:

Arrange the bread triangles along the bottom of your ceramic baking dish. Sprinkle the sultanas as evenly as you can over the top. Pour over the custard mixture. If you want, top the lot with a grating of nutmeg or a shake of cinnamon, and then a tablespoon or two of your crunchiest sugar. Bake for 30 mins. Serve with vanilla icecream and try not to burn the roof of your mouth.
