 Slice sufficient white or brown bread (stale) to fill a pie dish, and spread each slice thinly with butter. Grease the dish, then lay in the slices, sprinkling some currants, sultanas, and sliced candied peel between each layer, adding a little sugar and spice also. Then moisten the bread with a cup of milk. Prepare a pint custard (see direction for Custard, page 41), and pour over while hot, grate nutmeg on; bake as usual.
