Instructions: You will need a lightly buttered 3 pint deep baking dish.

Preheat oven to gas mark 4 350F/180C.

Begin by spooning the golden syrup all over the base of the baking dish.

Next remove the crusts from the bread and butter the slices.

Then cut each slice into 4 fingers and arrange these butter side up on top of the syrup.

Now whisk the eggs and milk together and pour this on top of the bread.

Then place the pudding in the oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes.

By this time it will be puffed up and golden brown.

Serve speedily straight from the oven to the table with lemon wedges and some chilled whipped cream.

Serves 4
