- 1L milk
- 100g caster sugar

Preparation time : 10mins
Cooling time : 1h
1. Preheat oven to 180 C / Gas mark 4. Butter a 23x33cm (9×13 in) baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, combine bread, milk, sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla; mixture should be the consistency of porridge. Pour into prepared dish.
3. In a saucepan, bring the brown sugar, golden syrup and water to the boil. Boil, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Carefully pour the hot syrup mixture over the bread mixture.
4. Bake in preheated oven 1 hour, until nearly set. (It should wiggle as much as a ‘well endowed’ thigh.) Serve warm or cold.
