You will need:
28g of desiccated coconut
6 slices of wholemeal bread
30g light margarine
120g sultanas 
2 medium eggs
300ml semi-skimmed milk

1) Spread all 6 slices of bread with margarine and then cut them into small squares of about 2 inches long each.

2) Line a deep dish with half of the bread squares, and scatter on the sultanas. Follow this with the rest of the bread squares.

3) Top with desiccated coconut.

4) In a jug, beat the eggs and add in the milk and stir well. Pour this over the whole pudding.

5) Bake in the centre of the oven on gas mark 6 for about 40 minutes or until golden brown on the top. 

6) Serve either on it's own or with a scoop of ice cream or spoon of yoghurt. A compote consisting of pretty much any red fruit also works especially well with this!
