I always make this bread pudding recipe for my dad on his birthday and holidays. He says it tastes exactly like the bread pudding with nutmeg he enjoyed as a child. Ingredients:
2 eggs |
2 cups scalded milk |
1/4 cup butter, cubed |
3/4 cup sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
4-1/2 to 5 cups soft bread cubes (about 9 slices) |
1/2 cup raisins, optional |
vanilla sauce: |
1/3 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1-2/3 cups cold water |
3 tablespoons butter |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, lightly beat eggs. Combine milk and butter; add to eggs along with sugar, spices and vanilla. Add bread cubes and raisins if desired; stir gently.
2. Pour into a well-greased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted 1 in. from edge comes out clean.
3. Meanwhile, for sauce, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt in a saucepan. Stir in water until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Stir in the butter, vanilla and nutmeg. Serve with warm pudding. Yield: 6 servings.
