CABINET PUDDING

4 slices of bread toasted
1-1/4 pints of milk
8 eggs
1 oz. of butter
sugar to taste
2 oz. of chopped almonds
1 teacupful of mixed currants and sultanas
any kind of flavouring--cinammon, lemon, vanilla, or almond essence.

Crush the toast in your hands, and soak it in the milk. Whip the eggs up, melt the butter, and add both to the soaked toast. Thoroughly mix all the various ingredients together. Butter a pie-dish and pour the pudding mixture into it; put a few bits of butter on the top, and bake the pudding for 1 hour in a moderately hot oven.
