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 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!
