Light Bread Pudding Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Light Bread Pudding Recipe, first pour some boiling-hot milk on a few thin slices of white bread or the crumb of French rolls; when cold beat up 1 whole egg and the yolks of 2 others; mix them well with the bread, adding a small portion of grated nutmeg, lemon peel, and as much white powdered sugar as will make it palatable. A few picked currants may be sometimes added. Put the preparation into a pudding-basin slightly rubbed over the butter, and cover the top with a piece of buttered paper; then place the basin in a saucepan containing boiling water, and let the pudding steam for half an hour or more, according to its size.
