I thought I would share the recipe, along with some photos. Don’t pay attention to the messy kitchen, please….
2 cups milk
1/4 cup butter
2/3 cup sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons cinammon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups cubed bread (about 9-10 pieces)
3/4 cup raisins (optional)
In a medium saucepan, heat milk on medium heat until a foam forms over the top. Add the butter and stir until it is melted. Cool to a lukewarm temperature. In another bowl combine sugar, eggs, vanilla, cinammon, and nutmeg and beat at medium speed with an electric mixer for approximately 1 minute. Using a mixer, slowly add the cooled milk/butter mixure to the egg mixture. Place bread in a lightly greased 1 1/2 quaet casserole. Mix half of the raisins and then sprinkle the remainder on top. Slowly pour mixture on top of bread cubes.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes. Serve warm topped with Lemon Sauce.
LEMON SAUCE RECIPE
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar ( I added additional 1/2 cup powdered sugar)
1/2 stick butter (I added 1 tablespoon of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter)
4 Tablespoon of Lemon Juice (I added 1 Tablespoon of Mexican Vanilla Extract)
Melt butter. Add powdered sugar and lemon juice. Stir. You can add water 1/4 teaspoon at a time to thin the mixture to the desired consistency.
So don’t poke fun at my Tinkerbell slideshow…I LOVE Tink!

Looks yummy! Gosh, and now I’m hungry….
I’ve never made bread pudding because Rick never seemed too enthused about it… I don’t make anything that the rest of the family won’t eat - don’t want to have to eat it all myself or waste it…

Alice, I could not wait for my family to get home. I had a serving the moment it came out of the oven.

Hi Anita-
I usually never have to worry if DH will eat something I cook. He is just happy that I DID cook..haha. He had a very long day yesterday…two “shifts” split by an hour and a half at home…then returning at 2:30 A.M. The first thing he asked was, “Is it okay for me to have some more pudding?” I haven’t checked to see how much is left, but I suspect there may only be one serving left.
Hais was not so interested in having some last night, but I suppose I will save what is left for her to try. If she doesn’t have a bit this afternoon, then she is just gonna be out of luck.
