METHOD

 

  1. Cut the crusts from the bread slices.
  2. To make the custard, heat the milk, cream and vanilla in a pan to just before boiling point.
  3. Separate 2 eggs and put the egg whites aside (keep them for meringues!). Mix the yolks with the 2 whole eggs and whisk together with the sugar.
  4. Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the eggs, stirring continuously until smooth.
  5. Butter an ovenproof dish.
  6. Butter both sides of the bread using a knife and cut into triangles. Lay half of the bread slices in the bottom of the dish.
  7. Zest the lemon over the top of the spread and sprinkle with sultanas. Lay the rest of the bread slices over the fruit.
  8. Pour the custard over the bread and leave to soak.
  9. When the custard has soaked in, sprinkle the caster sugar over the top and bake for 35 minutes at 160°C until golden brown.
  10.  Portion and serve.
