Milky Bread Comfort Food - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 slice bread, torn up into small pieces (any type, dry bread works better than fresh, fruit bread's nice, I like malted bread best)
    3/4 cup milk (use as much or as little to taste, any type works, I use soya but you can use normal or flavoured et)
    1 tablespoon sugar or 1 tablespoon Splenda sugar substitute
    1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, if using, omit the sugar or Splenda)
    1 1 teaspoon ginger (optional) or 1 teaspoon mixed spice, etc (optional)
    1 1 tablespoon sultanas (optional) or 1 tablespoon dried fruit, etc (optional)
    1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
Preparation
    Preheat grill to high.
    Put pieces of bread in a microwavable bowl/ramekin (about 200ml/1 cup).
    Sprinkle with sugar/Splenda/maple syrup and spices (if using).
    Pour over milk to taste (at least enough to cover the bread).
    Microwave on high for 1 minute, or until milk starts to bubble.
    Sprinkle with extra sugar if using, then either put ramekin straight under the grill, or transfer into a grillable bowl, then grill for 3-5 minutes depending on grill or how crunchy you want the top to be.
    Remove from grill and eat with a teaspoon. Make sure it's not too hot, sometimes the milk underneath the top is still boiling. I like it with a crunchy top and lots of milk underneath where the bread's totally disintegrated, you can try with more or less milk to get the consistency you want.
    If you don't have a microwave, you can bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes, then grill. Or alternatively if you don't have a grill, it still tastes great eaten straight from the bowl after microwaving.
