Steps:
- Spread bread slices out on a cutting board and leave out for a few hours to stale a bit.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt, set aside.
- Spread butter evenly over the six slices of bread (one side only-not both!), and cut the slices in to fourths.
- Spray a round 8 or 9 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Arrange the cut bread slices around in the pan to make somewhat of a spiral pattern , keeping the buttered side up and the cut edges facing the same direction.
- Sprinkle the raisins evenly over the top, followed by the cinnamon/sugar mixture.
- Whisk the eggs and milk together in a bowl and pour over the bread. Allow to sit for 15 minutes so that the bread can absorb the liquid.
- Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Serve warm. If desired, sprinkle some powdered sugar for garnish. In Ireland, they like to pour a bit of cream on top.

BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING
This simple bread pudding is an easy way to use up those bits and pieces that seem to lie around the pantry. Save a fortune and make this tasty pudding. I like to serve this with custard sauce but it goes well with whipped cream, ice cream, or also great on its own.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch round pie dish or cake pan.
- Butter the bread on both sides and cut into triangles. Arrange a single layer of buttered bread in the bottom of the greased pan, slightly overlapping the triangles. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the sugar and all of the currants. Arrange the remaining bread on top, then sprinkle with remaining sugar.

Tips:
- Choose the right bread: Use a slightly stale loaf of bread, as it will absorb the custard better and result in a more firm pudding.
- Use full-fat milk: Whole milk will give the custard a richer flavor and texture.
- Don't overmix the custard: Overmixing will make the custard tough. Simply whisk the eggs and milk together until they are well combined.
- Let the pudding rest: After baking, let the pudding cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set.
- Serve with your favorite toppings: Irish bread and butter pudding is traditionally served with custard or cream, but you can also top it with fruit, whipped cream, or ice cream.
