My Mother talked about how she missed her Mom's Bread Pudeding which was warm, rich and comforting. This was during the depression era. My Grandmother did not leave a recipe. I wanted my beloved Mother to have this nostalgic treat.After much research I came up with a delicious dish. For my Mom's birthday she always wanted this instead of cake.My Mom passed away in 1990 and I always think that both she and my Grandmother were inspirational for this recipe.
