Simple Old-Fashioned Bread Pudding
- Treat your family to this cozy old-fashioned bread pudding! The dessert is incredibly easy to make and bake, and you probably have all the ingredients!
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 slices bread, sliced in half or into strips
- 1/2 cup raisins, optional
For the Toppings
- 1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar, optional
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon, optional
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 300 F. Generously butter a 1 1/2-quart baking dish.
- Put the milk in a saucepan and heat it over medium-low heat until hot—it should be steaming and beginning to bubble around the edges.
- While the milk is heating, combine the eggs, sugar, and salt in a bowl and whisk to blend.
- While whisking briskly, gradually add about 1/3 cup of the hot milk to the egg mixture. Whisk in the remaining hot milk and stir in the vanilla.
- Arrange the bread slices in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle raisins over the bread slices, if using, then pour the milk mixture over all.
- Bake the bread pudding in the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center of the pudding comes out clean.
- Combine 1 1/2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and the cinnamon. Sprinkle over the bread pudding and serve.
