900mls milk, 4 eggs, 1/4 sugar, 1 tsp vanilla essence, 6 -8 slices of bread 1-2 days old, butter, 1/2 a cup sultanas, grated nutmeg, 1 tbsp demera sugar.
Heat milk until almost boiling, then aside for 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 170C.
Grease a shallow baking dish and stand in a roasting pan of water, so water comes up half way up the sides.
Beat the eggs lightly with the sugar. Butter bread ( remove crusts if desired) , then cut into small squares. Sprinkle half of the sultanas in the baking dish, arrange half the bread on top. Add remaining sultanas and bread. Strain milk into eggs and beat just to blend. Pour over the bread. Sprinkle with grated nutmeg and demera sugar. Bake at 170c for 46-60 minutes.
Serve hot
