A Really Delicious Old Fashioned Bread Pudding
I’ve been trying to keep up with my New Year’s Resolution, which was to try a new recipe each week for the whole year. So far, I’m doing great.
This is the delicious recipe I made this week.
Bread Pudding
2 cups whole milk
1/4 cup of butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups bread, torn into small pieces (I used sourdough bread, crusts removed)
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
1. In medium saucepan, over medium heat, heat milk just until film forms over top. Add butter and stir till melted. Cool to lukewarm.
2. Combine sugar, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer for 1 minute. (I used my handheld immersion blender) Slowly add milk and butter mixture.
3. Place bread in a lightly greased 1 1/2 quart casserole.
4. Sprinkle with raisins if desired. Pour batter on top of bread.
5. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 to 50 minutes or until set. Serve warm.
We served it warm with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream! Soooo good!!
Oh, and a cup of tea.
