Bread Pudding

or, a message to Jamie Oliver..."You got some explaining to do, young man!"

What do you do with the worst crumpets in the world?

1/2 oz butter
three tbs brown sugar

lining the bottom of an earthenware baking dish

Chop up ten or so of the offending objects, into little diced bits.

Layer over with more little chunks of butter and more brown sugar.

Slice up two apples and add a 1/2 cup of currants. Mix it all gently.

Mix three eggs, 1/2 cup of milk, a tsp of vanilla extract and,
because you don't have any cinnamon, a teaspoon of organic ginger (three times the strength of ordinary ground ginger.)

Pour milk and egg mixture into the pot all over the bread bits.

Shove in a medium to hot oven for, probably, about 45 mins.

Don't know how it will turn out, but I'll let you know.
