Bread custards

A great way to use up sliced bread, these custards are so easy to make and are sure to be a winner with all the family. Why not add your favourite fruit to make them extra special.

Ingredients: (Makes 12)

12 slice bread
50g butter or margarine
1 egg
200ml milk, any
1 dsp sugar
Small dash vanilla essence

Method:

Preheat your oven to 170°C/325°F/Gas mark 3.
Remove the crusts from the bread and butter both sides. The crusts can be used to make breadcrumbs.
