I have no idea where I got this recipe, but it is handwritten in a small book where I saved recipes back in the mid-80s. I haven't made this in ages, but I do recall I used to make it a lot. I think I will make it again today! :-) Ordinary sandwich bread works fine, or use a spiffier bread to make a spiffier pudding. Serve with a vanilla custard sauce, whipped cream, or even ice cream. Ingredients:
4 cups lightly packed bread, cut in cubes (about 4 or 5 slices of bread) |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup raisins |
2 cups milk (not skim) |
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine |
2 large eggs, beaten |
Directions:
1. Spread bread cubes evenly in an 8-inch round glass pan.
2. Sprinkle with the sugar, salt, and raisins.
3. Place milk in a 4-cup glass measuring cup and add the butter.
4. Microwave on High for four minutes, until butter melts and milk is warm.
5. Rapidly, stir in eggs with a fork or small whisk and combine well.
6. Pour over bread.
7. Microwave on Medium-High for 9 to 12 minutes.
8. When cooked, centre may still be slightly soft, but does set up as pudding cools.
9. Serve warm or chilled; your preference.
