Recipe Introduction


My dad asks me to make this every time I go up to visit the family.



List of Ingredients




2 c. milk
1 1/2 c dry bread crumbs
1/4 c sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 or 2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 tbsp butter or margarine, melted
1 c raisins

Recipe



Meagan's notes: I use a loaf of day old french bread, tear it up into bite size pieces in the morning, and leave it out all day to get stale/dry. Also good with chollah. Use 1 or 2 eggs, depending on how custardy you like your bread pudding. I prefer two. Boil the raisins in 2 cups water for about ten minutes, makes the raisins wonderfully plump and juicy, and not difficult to chew.

Directions: Scald milk, pour over bread, cool. Combine sugar, salt, beaten egg, add to milk and bread. Add vanilla, butter, & raisins, stir gently.

Pour into lightly greased baking dish, set dish in shallow hot water, bake 45 minutes (or longer, top should be a deep golden brown) at 325°F. (I'm still trying to figure out the proper cooking time, difficult since I always double the recipe.)

This is great served hot or cold, dad likes it for Christmas breakfast with a powdered sugar glaze drizzled over the top
