List of Ingredients
15 eggs
1/2 pound granulated sugar (1 cup plus 2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons)
1-1/2 quarts milk (6 cups)
1/2 quart heavy whipping cream (2 cups liquid)
6 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
1 long loaf French bread
3-3/4 ounces Sunmaid golden raisins (scant 3/4 cup)Recipe
Mix eggs and sugar in a mixing bowl at low speed for 3 minutes. Add milk, cream and vanilla extract, continuing to mix for 4 minutes. Strain mixture; set aside.
Slice bread and pack into a 10-by-12-inch baking pan as tightly as possible. Sprinkle raisins on top. Pour egg-milk mixture to fill pan one-fourth of its height and let soak for 5 minutes. Push bread down to speed up soaking process. Add remaining liquid and let stand for 10 minutes. Cover with foil greased lightly on one side to prevent sticking.
Place the bread-pudding pan inside a larger baking pan; then add water (to prevent burning) between pans until liquid almost reaches the top. Bake at 400 degrees for 1-1/2 hours. Makes 16 servings.
