A winter warmer pudding

My pops is also a big Bread and Butter fan so I cooked this recipe from an old pudding book, which I have cooked many times before. Again it is an easy recipe and tastes really good and goes very well with a big dollop of cream.
The recipe:
Eight slices of white bread, crusts removed, and buttered and cut into triangles
100g currants
1 Vanilla pod
500ml milk
50g caster sugar
3 eggs
1tbsp demerara sugar
Layer the bread in a shallow dish and sprinkle currants inbetween the layers. Meanwhile put the vanilla pod in the milk and bring to the boil then leave to infuse for an hour.
Mix together the caster sugar and eggs then pour the milk over the eggs and mix together.
 Pour onto the bread and butter then leave to stand for 45 minutes. Sprinkle with the demerara.
 Next cook for 35-45 minutes at 160 degrees celsius until it is crispy and golden.

The other pudding is a Christmas Pudding, which is a closely guarded family recipe!
