Bread Pudding
The day before or several hours before leave
slices of bread out so they will dry out or you may place them in a warm oven for
about a 1/2 hour then turn the oven off and leave them sit for awhile.
They don't need to be hard just on the dry side.
2 cups dry bread (I cut the bread unto small pieces like croutons.)
1 Tbsp. butter or margarine (melted)
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
4 cups milk
1/4 tsp. salt
4 slightly beaten eggs
1/2 cup raisens
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Mix together the eggs, milk, butter, salt, sugar, and vanilla.
Place bread in a cake pan that has sprayed with a vegetable spray. Pour the egg
mixture over the bread then sprinkle the cinnamon over top. Bake at 350° for
about 50 minutes or when a knife inserted in the middle of the pudding comes out clean.
I like to serve the pudding with this butterscotch sauce.
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup milk (for a richer sause use cream, or evaporated milk)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
In a medium size sauce pan combine butter, milk, brown sugar, sugar. Cook over medium
heat until it starts to get a bit thick. Remove from heat and add the vanilla.
Serve warm over top of the pudding.
