STEP 2
Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4 and butter a 20cm x 30cm ovenproof dish or roasting tin. Spread the bread with butter on both sides and tear them into pieces. Arrange the bread across the dish at an angle so they are overlapping.

STEP 3
In a jug or bowl, combine the eggs, caster sugar and a pinch of salt, and whisk until frothy and the sugar has dissolved. Pour over the milk, cream, rum and raisins, and add most of the citrus zest plus the vanilla pod, and grate in a good sprinkling of nutmeg. Whisk to combine everything really well, then pour over the bread, pressing down a little to submerge, if needed. Sprinkle over the remaining citrus zest and a little more nutmeg, then scatter over the demerara sugar. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the pudding is crisp and golden, and the custard is set. Eat with more cream poured over.
