Bread Pudding


Yesterday we had our friends Paul & Sharon, and their kids Joshua & Hannah, over for dinner. We made roast lamb and potato & sweet potato casserole for the meal, with bread pudding as the dessert. Here is the recipe (definitely an improvement on the diet coke recipe....):

Easy Bread Pudding
INGREDIENTS:
• 6 slices day-old bread
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 2 cups milk
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Break bread into small pieces into an 8 inch square baking pan. Drizzle melted butter or margarine over bread. If desired, sprinkle with raisins.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Beat until well mixed. Pour over bread, and lightly push down with a fork until bread is covered and soaking up the egg mixture.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top springs back when lightly tapped.

Ah, a recipe I can actually use! Man I love comfort food, it's snowing here, so it's about time for this kind of stuff. :)

Don't know why they insist on the raisins though.... glad they were optional!
