Dona Myers shared this easy-to-make old-fashioned recipe that utilizes everyday ingredients. It is presented in the style she shared.
Dona’s Old Fashioned Bread Pudding 6 to 8 servings
Heat to scalding....................2 cups milk
Pour over..............................4 cups coarse bread, cubed
Cool and add.........................1/4 cup melted butter (I just added butter directly to milk)
1/2 cup sugar (granulated or brown)
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped pecans, optional
1 tsp. ground cinnamon or nutmeg
1 tsp. vanilla (this was also my addition)
1. Pour all ingredients into buttered 1/1/2 qt, casserole (7 1/2").
2. Bake in a preheated 350° oven until a knife inserted in pudding comes out clean.
3. Serve warm with or without cream or ice cream or hard sauce. We served it with honeyed yogurt.
