Bread Pudding Grammies Way Recipes

BREAD PUDDING / GRAMMIES WAY

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x13 pan or dish with nonstick cooking spray. The deeper dish the better. Break bread into pieces or cube and place into prepared pan.
• 2. Beat sugar, eggs and milk and cream.
• 3. Pour over the cubed bread, pushing the bread down into the milk mixture, making sure all is covered.
• 4. Sprinkle with a generous amount of cinnamon.
• 5. Dot with pats of butter.
• 6. Bake for 45 - 50 minutes, or until a pick comes out clean and pudding is set. You many want to place some foil on stove bottom. Sometimes mine has leaked and made a smoky mess...
• 7. While baking...make your vanilla sauce. Don't skip this, as it is to die for... In a bowl, mix the corn starch with the sugar.
• 8. In a medium sauce pan, add the 1 cup of water, bring to a boil. Whisk in the sugar mixture and stir until thickened.
• 9. Turn off burner or remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and butter.
• 10. Stir until butter is melted.
• 11. Serve this delicious sauce over the warm bread pudding...absolutely delish!!! I usually serve with a dollop of whipped topping and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

BEST BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with the butter.
• Toast the bread cubes on a baking sheet until they start to dry and harden, about 20 minutes. Set aside. Raise the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
• Whisk together the cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, whole eggs and yolks in a large bowl. Add the bread to the bowl and stir until completely coated. Cover and let soak for about 30 minutes, pushing the bread down occasionally so that all the cubes are soaked. Meanwhile, pour hot water over the raisins, if using, and soak for 10 minutes. Once plumped, drain the raisins, add to the bowl of bread and gently toss.
• Pour the bread mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake until the custard is set and the top is golden brown, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, at room temperature or cold.
