The custard with raisins is superb. the taste is great, it is very easy with just a few ingredients. Also, I used the edges of bread used for tea sandwiches because I didn't want to discard them and they were the thickness specified in the recipe. The bread raised to the top. Not very pretty but with the dusting with confectioners sugar it was fine.
