Bread and butter pudding with marmalade

I have put optional with the sultanas as I do not like them but most people do so the choice is yours.
Also the type of chocolate is up to you, partly depending on whether you like milk or dark chocolate.

Ingredients
Serves 4-6
75g butter
8 slices white bread
2 tbsp marmalade
Handful sultanas,
optional
1 Terry’s chocolate orange
350ml whole milk
50ml double cream
2 large eggs
5 desp granulated sugar.

Method
Grease a 1-litre pie dish with butter.
Generously spread each slice of bread on one side with butter and then marmalade and then cut into four triangles.
Arrange some of the bread, buttered side up, in the bottom of the dish and layer with the sultanas if using, the chocolate orange segments and three dessertspoons of sugar until you have used up all of the bread.
Gently warm the milk and cream in a pan over a low heat to simmering point. Don’t let it boil.
Put the eggs into a bowl, add two dessertspoons of sugar and lightly whisk until pale.
Add the warm milk and cream mixture and stir well.
Pour the custard over the prepared bread layers and sprinkle with the remaining spoonful of sugar and leave to stand for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 190C/375F or gas 4.
Put in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the custard has set and the top is golden-brown.
Serve warm with double cream.
