A small white loaf is all you need to make a cheap bread and butter pudding. Cut off all the crusts, spread butter on each slice, arrange one layer of buttered bread at the bottom of a pudding dish and sprinkle a teaspoon of caster sugar plus a few raisins over the bread. Repeat the process until all the bread is used. Add 1 pint of milk and 1 beaten egg to a measuring jug, pour over the bread and leave for half an hour and bake at the bottom of the oven on a medium heat for about an hour.
