Hello, darling dears! I thought I'd bring my sleepy blog back to life with this easy recipe. It is the ultimate in comfort food. It's a versatile recipe too. My family loves it. I hope yours will too!
Mama D's Super Simple Bread Pudding
8 slices of day old bread*
2 tablespoons butter, melted
½ cup raisins**
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups milk
½ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla extract***
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Cut or tear bread into (roughly) one inch cubes. Put bread into a
greased 8 inch square baking dish. Drizzle melted butter over bread. Sprinkle with
raisins**.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, sugar cinnamon
and vanilla. Hand mix until well blended.
Pour over bread, and lightly push down with a fork until bread is somewhat
covered and soaking up the egg mixture.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top springs back when
lightly tapped.
*You can use what ever bread you have on hand. For this batch, I used whole wheat bread.
**Dried currants, cranberries, blueberries, or diced apple work wonderfully as well.
***I have also used 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 teaspoon maple extract and it's lovely.

This dish is delicious by itself, but you could certainly serve this
pudding many different ways.
Here are a few topping and accompaniment suggestions:
Ice cream and/or whipped cream.
Whiskey, caramel or vanilla sauce.
Warmed maple syrup.
