...warm it?
kwik tip - hot spoon stops treacle sticking so much, warming treacle gently makes it easier to pour.

Now tried & tested  :) (I live alone so I had to eat all of it  :o :-\)

1 loaf of fresh bread (sandwich type) leave to 'stale-up' 2/3 days
6 oz Currants & Sultanas
6 oz Dripping/Marg (softened) (I used Dripping)
1 egg (Beaten)
3 tea-spoons Mixed Spice
Fresh Nutmeg
Sugar
-------------------------
Break bread into small chunks, cover totally in cold water, leave to soak for a min of 1hr (overnight is best)

Squeeze excess water from bread (I used a sieve)
Add: fruit, mixed spices, freshly grated nutmeg - mix well
Add: Egg, Dripping (Marg) - mix well
Grease tins, add mixture (not too deep) mixture should be about 1/2ins deep
Gas mark 5/6
Cook for about 1 & 1/2 hrs (sorry don't know electric & timings depends on type of oven)
When cooked, sprinkle with sugar........enjoy, I did  :)

:D Why not Laffz, only myself to please  ;)  Did you 'squeeze' the water out of the bread thoroughly through a sieve? or are you just trying to keep it all to yourself :D ;)

Rosie10 dont like to disagree as everyone will tell you but what you are describing is bread and butter pudding nothing like bread pudding .

This is a Mary Berry receipe which I am going to make today, but am going to use brioche instead of bread.  

6/8 slices bread, well buttered and crusts removed
100 g (4 oz) dried fruit
grated rind of 1 lemon or orange
50 g (2oz) brown sugar (I use demarara)
1/2 pint (300 ml) milk
1 egg

Well butter a shallow 1 1/2 pint dish.  Cut each slice of bread into 3 and arrange half the bread butter side down in the dish.  Cover with most of the fruit, lemon or orange rind, half the sugar and then top with the remaining bread and butter - butter side up.  Sprinkle with rest of sugar, rind and fruit.  Blend the milk and egg and strain over the pudding, leave to stand for at least half and hour but it is better to leave for about 2 hours.  Bake at 360F, 180C or gas 4 for 40 minutes or until puffy, pale golden brown and set firm.  Serve at once.  Serves 4.
