Oh so delicious Bread Pudding! Great with raisins or just leave them out!
3 & 1/2 stale bread cubed 8 Tablespoons Butter 2/3 Cups Sugar 1/4 Teaspoon Salt 3 Large Eggs use 4 if smaller 2 Teaspoons Vanilla 3 Teaspoons Cinnamon 4 Cups Whole Milk 1 Cup Raisins (optional) Sanding Sugar Or Regular Sugar to sprinkle over the top! Butter a large deep casserole liberally using 1 tablespoon of the butter. Dump in the cubed bread & the raisins, stir just to combine the raisin throughout the bread evenly. Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter & let cool. In a separate bowl beat the eggs & sugar well & I just use a heavy whisk for this. Now add the salt, the vanilla, & 2 teaspoons of the cinnamon. Mix very well, just using the whisk or heavy spoon. Now whisk or stir in the milk & then the cooled butter. Once beaten well pour this over the bread cubes. Now dot the top with pieces of the remaining butter cut into 1/4 to 1/2 sized teaspoon sized pieces. Now Sprinkle the remaining teaspoon of cinnamon over the top & then the sugar about 1 tablespoon of sugar! Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until pudding is puffed up and nicely browned. Insert a knife to test it should come out clean! Serve warm or cold. I love it both ways! |
