Simple, tasty, old-fashioned bread pudding. Preparation is made quick and easy. I used a loaf pan. Any equivalent-size pan would work. Baking time may be less in a cake pan. Economic alternative - may substitute 1 cup evaporated milk plus 1 cup water for the milk and cream.

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • 1 cup 10% cream
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

  • 4 slices bread
  • 3 teaspoons butter for toasted bread
  • sprinkle sugar in the raw or any finishing sugar (optional)

How To Make elaine's bread pudding

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Step 2
    Toast and butter the bread. Cut into cubes. Put into a loaf pan and sprinkle raisins on top.
  • Step 3
    In a medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk to combine yolks and whites. Add milk, cream, cinnamon, salt, and sugar; combine well.
  • Step 4
    Pour egg mixture evenly over the bread and raisins in the loaf pan. If you have the time, allow 20 minutes or so to let the bread soak.
  • Step 5
    Sprinkle Sugar in the Raw over top (optional).
  • Step 6
    Put loaf pan in a 9 X 13 in. cake pan. Pour hot water in a large pan to halfway up the loaf pan. This helps the pudding to cook more evenly.
  • Step 7
    Bake in a 350 degree oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the pudding about an inch from the edge of the pan is clean. Remove from oven and allow to set for a few minutes.
  • Step 8
    Serve as is or with cream, ice cream, or whipped cream. May sprinkle with icing sugar if you like.
