Ingredients:
65g (2½oz) sultanas
65g (2½oz) currants
65g (2½oz) butter
50g (2oz) caster sugar
15ml (1tbsp)
demerara sugar
15ml (1tsp)
ground cinnamon
750ml (1¼ pints) milk
3 medium eggs
6 thick slices of
white bread

Heat the milk in a saucepan and bring to the boil.
Butter the slices of bread and cut diagonally corner to corner to form triangles, Mix together the sultanas and currants and place three quarters of them in the base of a 1.4 litre (2½ pint) shallow ovenproof dish.
Arrange the bread neatly on top, overlapping and with the pointed ends uppermost. Sprinkle on the remaining currants and sultanas. Beat together the eggs, caster sugar and milk and pour over the bread to soak for 5 minutes.
Make sure the bread is covered and pushed down well into the milk.
Sprinkle the demerara sugar and cinnamon over the top and place in a roasting tin containing enough  hot water to come half way up the side of your bowl. Place in the oven and cook at 180°C (350°F) (Gas Mark 4) for approximately 55 minutes until the mixture has lightly set and the top is golden brown.
