Miniature Bread Puddings

Ingredients

• 1 pint milk
• 1/2 lb bread crumbs
• 4 eggs
• 2 oz butter
• sugar to taste
• 2 tablespoonful brandy
• 1 teaspoonful finely-minced lemon-peel

Instructions

1. Make the milk boiling, pour it on to the bread crumbs, and let them soak for about 1/2 hour.
2. Beat the eggs, mix these with the bread crumbs, add the remaining ingredients, and stir well until all is thoroughly mixed.
3. Butter some small cups; rather more than half fill them with the mixture, and bake in a moderate oven from 20 minutes to 1/2 hour, and serve with sweet sauce.
4. A few currants may be added to these puddings: about 3 oz. will be found sufficient for the above quantity.
