Equipment

baking or casserole dish (2 litres, approximately)
larger baking dish

Ingredients

8 slices of bread (thicker, toast sliced) (can be fresh or a little stale)
50 grams butter (softened, for easy spreading)
⅓ cup sultanas (optional)
1 ½ cups milk powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 eggs
3 cups boiling water
1 pinch ground nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 190 degrees celsius/ 375 degrees fahrenheit.
Grease the baking dish with butter.
Cut crusts off bread and slice each slice in half diagonally. Butter both sides of the bread.
Arrange half the bread in the dish and sprinkle with half the sultanas. Arrange the remaining bread on top and sprinkle with rest of the sultanas.
Whisk together the milk powder, sugar, vanilla, eggs and boiling water until frothy. Pour over the layered bread slices. Sprinkle with nutmeg.
Place the baking dish in the larger baking dish and fill the larger dish with boiling water half way up the sides of the smaller baking dish.
Place into oven and bake for 30 minutes or until golden and set.
