Foodie Friday-Bread Pudding-

     I am joining up with Foodie Friday at Designs By Gollum.

            My daughter is coming home tomorrow night from the city with a friend and always asks for Bread Pudding-like grandma made- for dessert. How can I refuse when it is so easy and I usually have the ingredients?!
        
     Bread Pudding

              5-6 slices of white bread-lightly toasted and lightly buttered  (Mom says 4-5 but I use more)

         Cut the bread into strips

         Place them in a lightly buttered casserole dish or deeper pyrex

       

     Place in dish in a cross-hatch pattern.

See my Mom's recipe in her handwriting the lucite plastic frame? I use that when I cook so I don't slop up the recipe card...

Beat 3 eggs and mix in  1/2 cup sugar (I go a bit less)

          Heat 3 cups of any milk until scalded and a skin forms on top...

 Don't worry if the bottom burns a little, you can strain the milk and leave the burnt part behind

(not that I am speaking from experience! ahemmm)

"Temper" the egg  and milk mixture by adding a bit of the hot milk mixture into the eggs so as not to cook them as you would have sweet scrambled aggs!

       Pour the egg/milk/sugar mixture over the bread

          Sprinkle with raisins or currrants if you like...press down bread in liquid 
          Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar
          Bake 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes
               Serve warm or cooled with ice cream or chocolate sauce drizzled. I like it as is.....warm amd yummy!
